The
ferret
(
Mustela putorius furo
) is the
domesticated
form of the
European polecat
, a mammal belonging to the same
genus
as the
weasel
,
Mustela
of the
family
Mustelidae
.
[1]
They typically have brown, black, white, or mixed fur. They have an average length of 51 cm (20 in) including a 13 cm (5.1 in) tail, weigh about
1.5–4 pounds (0.7–2 kg)
, and have a natural lifespan of 7 to 10 years.
[2]
Ferrets are sexually
dimorphic
predators with males being substantially larger than females.
Several other Mustelids also have the word
ferret
in their common names, including an
endangered species
, the
black-footed ferret
.
The history of the ferret's domestication is uncertain, like that of most other domestic animals, but it is likely that ferrets have been domesticated for at least 2,500 years. They are still used for hunting rabbits in some parts of the world, but increasingly, they are kept only as pets.
Being so closely related to polecats, ferrets easily hybridize with them, and this has occasionally resulted in feral colonies of
polecat-ferret hybrids
that have caused damage to native fauna, especially in New Zealand.
[3]
As a result, some parts of the world have imposed restrictions on the keeping of ferrets.
