Do ferrets live wild in Minnesota?

Yes, ferrets live wild in Minnesota. The black-footed ferret is a species of ferret native to North America and historically found in the grasslands of the Great Plains region in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. The black-footed ferret was once thought to be extinct, but a small population was discovered in Wyoming in 1981. The species has since been reintroduced to several other states, including Minnesota. In Minnesota, the black-footed ferret is found in the northwestern part of the state, in the prairie grasslands of the Red River Valley.
