? Looks like a ferret? Is that another name for a ferret? They're cute!

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 30 points 9 months ago

Yes. Ferrets are the domesticated European polecat.

Ferret is the name for a domesticated polecat! I think a ferret with black markings like that is referred to as polecat as well.

The dark markings are considered a sable pattern.

Aah apparently its more of a UK thing to call them polecats or poleys rather than sable
