Muscle tone & behaviour alone would have been enough to make a positive id in this situation...Try removing a wild poley from a drop box and compared to removing a ferret the results are.., well, emotional.

Filming polecats in uk,seem quite different to a polecat ferret,am certainly no expert but they do seem on initial viewing darker than the ferret

I had a real polecat in one of my cage traps set by my chicken pens last year .

belive me you will know when you have a proper polecat by the way it reacts .i have had ferrets all my life and instantly new that this was the real deal .

I thought that they were quite rare but after contacting a few people i learned that where i live in south wales there is a good population of them .

So i think by looking at he pick that this is a ferret mostly due to the size and the coat dosnt seem to be quite as dark as the one i had the mask is not as light .

Anyhow why would some one say its a ferret if it was a polecat?
