Ferrets: A Selective Overview of Issues and Options by Kenneth W. Umbach, Ph.D. Posted May 31, 1997. This is a selective review of background and issues, drawn primarily from existing documents and articles, supplemented by interviews with state and federal personnel in several states. [Notes appear at end of the paper.] What is a ferret? "Ferret" is the common name for Mustela putorius furo , a subspecies of the polecat, Mustela putorius. (The skunk, sometimes incorrectly called a "polecat" is a different species from the polecat, although both species emit a malodorous spray.) The black-footed ferret, Mustela nigripes is a different species, and is endangered. In 1986, only 18 individuals of the species remained, although an effort is underway to breed and reintroduce the species into the Midwest area of the U.S. Except as otherwise specifically noted, the information below refers to the domesticated ferret, often kept as a pet where allowed (currently in all states but California and Hawaii) and sometimes used for hunting and pest control. This discussion does not encompass the black-footed ferret or the polecat except as explicitly mentioned. Ferrets are sometimes humorously called "carpet sharks" and described as "fur-covered Slinkies" (in recognition of their flexibility) or "sock-puppets with legs." They are widely viewed as playful, curious, highly active, and sociable, although not inclined to become attached to a home ("lacking a homing instinct"). They are carnivores and require a meat-based diet. Their teeth are unusually sharp, even when they are quite young, and they tend, as one biologist put it, to "explore the world with their mouths."

43. Polecats polecats The polecat is thought to have become extinct in Scotland Stephen,D.(1979) In wildlife of Scotland Holliday,F. (Ed.) Macmillan, London. http://www.bigcats.org/esa/polecat.html

Polecat lives on in ferret form The polecat is thought to have become extinct in Scotland before 1920, with the last sighting being recorded in Sutherland in 1912. The polecat was described by Ritchie (1920) as 'once an abundant and universally distributed denizen of the Scottish wilds'. Perry (1978) reports that six hundred polecat pelts were on sale in the Dumfries fur market in 1831, but none thirty years later. Harvie-Brown (1881) stated that the polecat was almost extinct in the Scottish borders by 1850. Thirty years later, apart from north of the Moray Firth, it was absent from everywhere except the remoter parts of Ayrshire, Argyll, Perthshire, and Aberdeenshire. Langley and Yalden (1997) stated that the polecat lingered on later in the far north. In 1881 Harvie-Brown thought it was fairly common in Invernessshire, but by 1895 Harvie-Brown and Buckley recorded it as declining there and rare in Sutherland and Caithness in 1887. Ritchie (1920) recorded that the last polecat in Ross-shire was seen in 1902 and the last in Sutherland in 1912. This was the last polecat recorded in Scotland. Langley and Yalden (1977) concluded: It must be presumed that, in fact, the polecat became extinct in North Scotland around 1915, for otherwise the population should have expanded as did that in Wales, and as, indeed the Scottish population of

Urban Wildlife Siting (Are not all in the zoo) Photos and text by Gordon Burhop Living in the metropolitan area of Phoenix, with a population exceeding three million, I am often astounded by how adaptable certain wild creatures have Arizona is in the midst of a multi-year drought. This brings javelina into the city in search of water and food. Our irrigation and green plants are attractive to normally reclusive animals. We have seen mule deer in the city, which, unlike white tail deer, prefer the desert to higher altitudes. Bears and lions also occasionally wander into the city now that food and water are scarce. I saw a coyote carrying what I think was a crow in his mouth across a busy street. Raccoons, ducks and geese also gravitate towards consistent water sources. Woodpeckers drum rhythmical tunes on the metal cover of a streetlight. They may even be attracted to wood siding. The Gila Woodpecker and Gilded Flicker make nests in the front yard saguaro. The Arizona state bird, the cactus wren, makes himself perfectly comfortable in the city cholla and trees. Many different species of other birds are seen, including turkey vultures and various hummingbirds. Judy and I have enjoyed watching mourning doves hatch and raise their young in a tree in our front yard, just 10 feet from the street. Presently we have a hummingbird hatching two jellybean-sized eggs in a nest built of spider webs and tree down on a set of decorative lights on our patio.

Distribution: Found mainly in Wales and border counties. Months seen: All year round Food: Rabbits, small mammals, frogs and birds. Habitat: Can be found in meadows, moorland, woodlands, open mountains and coastal areas. Sometimes found close to farm buildings. Special features: The polecat is a member of the weasel family. It lives in burrows which they can dig themselves, but often inhabit burrows vacated by other animals. Because of its taste for poultry it became the enemy of farmers and gamekeepers. For this reason it was almost hunted to extinction, and became confined to a few areas in mid Wales. Another common name for the polecat is "foul marten" because it emits an acrid smelling scent as a territory marker and also as a defense mechanism from glands under its tail.

Links Classification: Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Subphylum Vertebrata Class Mammalia Subclass Eutheria Order Carnivora Family Mustelidae Back to Top Distribution: The Steppe Polecat lives in the steppe zones of Austria to Manchuria and Tibet. Back to Top Physical Characteristics The steppe polecat is a straw yellow to pale brown color with a dark mask across its face. The chest, limbs, groin area, and part of the tail are dark brown to black. Some people believe that he resembles the black-footed ferret . Male polecats are twice the size of female polecats. Back to Top Reproduction: Steppe Polecats breed from March - June. The female builds a nest in trees or in heaps of hay. The nest is lined with feathers, fur, and dried plant matter. They have a two-month gestation period and have 3-8 young. Back to Top Behavior: Steppe polecats have anal scent glands that they use. When they are excited or threatened they releases some of the contents of these glands to warn off their predators. They also use these glands to mark their territory. Since polecats are so long and slender they move with a awkward gait, that is really more beneficial than it looks.

56. Coal Creek Wildlife-Black-footed Ferret The European polecat and the steppe polecat are the blackfooted ferret s closest I got my information from wildlife IN DANGER published by the Colorado http://www.bvsd.k12.co.us/schools/coalcreek/wildlife/ferret.html

Masked Bandit of the Prairies by Michael, age 8 A black-foot ed ferret scurries across prairie dog colonies like a masked bandit, waiting for his prairie dog feast. Then he will take over the prairie dog's home, and use it for his home. Black-footed ferrets eat prairie dogs, mice, squirrels, gophers, rabbits, birds, lizards, eggs and sometimes insects. The European polecat and the steppe polecat are the black-footed ferret's closest relatives. The black-footed ferret is about 2 feet long. It has a black mask over its eyes, feet, shoulders and tail. Black-footed ferrets live all over the world except for Australia, Antarctica and most of the ocean islands. Black-footed ferrets are one of the most endangered species in the U.S.A. So please help save them. I got my information from BLACK-FOOTED FERRET by Denise Casey. Black-footed Ferret by Colby, age 9 Imagine going to the zoo and seeing something that is very thin and is about 24 inches long, it may be a ferret. Does it have black markings on its legs? Can you see a black mask over its eyes? If so, it probably is a black-footed ferret. An amazing fact about the black-footed ferret is that its one of the rarest mammals in North America. The ferret belongs to the weasel family. It is also related to ermine, martens, skunks and otters. They have a black mask over their eyes, black markings on their legs and a black tip on their tails. Males are usually larger than females. The only thing it eats are prairie dogs. It tracks its prey with its powerful sense of smell, then it pounces on its prey, gripping it with its feet. Its razor sharp teeth are great for cutting the meat. A ferret has one litter per year. The babies are born about 1 1/2 months after mating, usually 3-4 young in a litter.

Local Links One of the best places for birding on the entire Atlantic Flyway is North Carolina's Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge. In this sparse landscape of water, sky, and grass punctuated by pine and pond cypress, waterfowl from as far away as the Arctic Circle indulge in a feast that lasts from November through February. Lake Mattamuskeet, the largest natural lake in North Carolina, is actually nothing more than a shallow depression that collects rainwater; it has no natural inlet or outlet. According to Native American legend, the depression was formed by a peat fire that burned for 13 moons. These shallow waters encourage the growth of aquatic plants which nourish the tens of thousands of waterfowl that visit Lake Mattamuskeet every winter. During a recent December, for example, the lake hosted nearly 17,000 tundra swans, 17,000 pintail ducks, and 11,000 teal.
