Ferrets Are Endangered And Only M&Ms Can Save Them
In the US, the black-footed ferret is rarer than the rarest Pokemon, even though it’s just as cute. In an effort to try to save this endangered species that faces a plague epidemic across the American great plains, the US Department of Fish and Wildlife are using drones to release thousands of M&Ms laced with ferret vaccines. For those unfamiliar, the wild ferret is basically a fur-covered slinky that finds M&Ms irresistible, but much like adults who buy vitamins in gummy-form, they need some convincing to take their medicine. As always, children living in the US are advised not to eat the candy that falls out of the sky from drones.
