Polecat (species)

2023-10-20T21:47:09Z

2601:18D:4700:72A0:7CB3:CBCD:2A32:661E: /* Overview */

The '''polecat''' is any of a group of Old World's [[mammal]]s of the genera ''Mustela'' or ''Vormela'' of the [[weasel]] family.

== Overview ==

Polecat refers to the species the European polecat (''Mustela putorius''), which is the wild ancestor of the [[ferret|domesticated ferret]], the marbled polecat (''Vormela peregusna'') and the Steppe polecat (''Mustela eversmanii'') There is also another genus, ''Ictonyx'', that includes two species, the striped polecat, also known as the zorilla (''Ictonyx striatus'') and the Saharan striped polecat (''Ictonyx libycus''), both of which resemble [[Skunk (species)|skunk]]s and are native to Africa. This term is also used to apply to the 'black-footed ferret, (''Mustela nigripes'') which is native to North America.

Polecats are so-called for their reputed habit of predation on domestic [[fowl]] ('''''poules''''' in European French) and are known for their pungent [[musk]]. The latter may have led to applying the term "polecat" which is sometimes used as a colloquial nickname for the New World's skunks, which are distant relatives that belong to the family ''Mephitidae''.

It bears noting that the European polecat usually has no white markings, [[albino]] individuals are not unknown, and they have a [[raccoon]] mask-like marking across their face.

'''Ferrets''' (''Mustela furo'') are a species of [[mustelid]] in the genus ''Mustela''. Technically, they are descendants of the species ''Mustela putorius'', the European polecat, and are 'true ferrets', but a number of loosely related species with similar physical forms and lifestyles (such as the endangered [[wikipedia:Black-footed ferret|black-footed ferret]] that also belongs to the genus ''Mustela'' which also includes other members) are known by that name.

==Real ferrets==
Male ferrets are known as ''hobs'', female ferrets as ''jills''. Spayed, male ferrets are known as ''hobbles'', female ferrets as ''sprites''. Young ferrets are ''kits'', and a group of ferrets is a ''business''.

They are known as slinky, active creatures, and have been domesticated for millennia, with the first known usage of domestic ferrets (to protect grain stores from rodents) dating back to 1500 BCE. As pets, ferrets are the third most common pet in the US (behind [[cat]]s and [[dog]]s). However, some states, like California and Hawaii and other countries like Australia and New Zealand, have laws against owning them.

As [[carnivore]]s, they need a diet high in fats and proteins and low in carbohydrates. A ferret's metabolism is also an exercise in extremes the common domestic ferret (''Mustela putorius furo'') sleeps from 14 to 18 hours a day, and makes their owner's life a living hell (albeit a cute living hell) for the other 6 to 10 hours.

Some ferrets work at NASA, running cables through access spaces too small for a human to go through. A ferret's speed, relative strength, intelligence, and ability to be trained makes them ideally suited for this task.

Like other mustelids, ferrets have scent glands. However, they get them surgically removed, but this practice is unnecessary.

==Furry ferrets==
[[Image:Extinctioners Cast Angelica.jpg|left|thumb|[[Angelica Ferroti]], a fictional '''ferret''' character in [[Extinctioners]]]]
In the furry fandom, ferrets generally do not sleep from 14 to 18 hours a day, but otherwise resemble their animal counterparts. In many instances, the flexibility of their real-life counterparts is taken to extremes.

The ''[[Funday PawPet Show]]'' features many ferret characters, most notably [[Poink T. Ferret]].

In ''[[Supermegatopia]]'', [[Ferret Man]] is the setting's premiere antihero. In this, he represents the common American misconceptions that ferrets are vicious, and unsuitable around children; Ferret Man is violent, taking no prisoners and cleaning up the city by leaving even 'mild' criminals as a greasy smear on the street.
