The truth is that it is very difficult to me to decide which is my favorite animal, but if somebody ask me to choose an animal that I would like to take as a pet, I guess i would choose the ferret The ferret it is a domestic mammal of the family of Mustela putorius furo. They are predators and present a very marked sexual dimorphism, this is to say, that the males are considerably bigger than females.
The colors of the ferrets are the quoit, black, white or mixed skin; they measure approximately 50 centimeters (including the tail that measures 13 cm) and weigh among 0.7 and 2 kilograms.
They can manage to live from 7 to 10 years.
The ferret is a very near parent of the turón, but what isn't yet known, is if it is a domesticated form d of the European turón, Steppe turon, or an hybrid of both. In some parts of the world, ferrets are used as animals of hunt for rabbits, because they are very flexibles and it make easier them to enter to the burrows, but as the years went by, the upbringing of these animals has passed to be for the mostly for domestic purposes.
As pets, they are energetic, curious, playful and much sociable than cats; in fact, in the USA are the third pet most frequent. The dangers than having ferrests at home, are that as they are such curious, they are in the habit of putting behind wardrobes and domestic appliances, which is an extremely dangerous because they can be electrocuted.
