Ferret Mustela putorius furo/ Mustela furo

The Ferret is a domesticated relative of the wild Polecat and is sometimes classed as a subspecies and sometimes as a separate, evolved species.

The Ferret is usually slightly smaller than the Polecat, has a slightly more pointed face, a limited or absent face mask and usually light at the back of its white-bordered ears.

Ferrets also come in a wide range of coat colours, including albino (above), and can be feral.
