Grasslands: Return of the Black-Footed Ferret

Grasslands National Park is a rare success story in species recovery. It's the only place in Canada where Black-footed Ferrets, thought extinct in the wild, have been reintroduced. These nocturnal hunters depend on prairie dog colonies for survival. The recovery is bringing a vital piece of the prairie ecosystem back from the brink. #Canada #Grasslands #Saskatchewan #Conservation 🇨🇦

🐦🌌 Engineers and biologists have found that #bird feathers act like specialized heat sinks that shed infrared radiation through the #atmosphere.

Species living in open #grasslands are especially effective at using this method to stay cool under the #sun. The finding could help researchers design new materials for passive cooling in human #buildings.
