I remember the A.F.H. T shirt that said, "If Herpetoculturist were around, dinosaurs wouldn't be extinct."

Wasn't the Black footed ferret considered near/extinct?

But due to breeding programs they are keeping up in numbers, the first animals of such programs would have had to come from SOMEWHERE.
