Cutest little dude next to my ferret I’ve ever seen. I know this video is old but thank you! It showed me everything I was curious about in my wild encounter last night.

We've been the proud owners of Ferrets for over 10 years now. Currently we have 6, Fed an all raw diet of various meats/organs/bones. They are extremely smart, and some of the sweetest creatures I've ever had the privilege of sharing a home with. They'd sooner kiss you to death than bite, though they do play like puppies, Teeth and all. :p

[@johnredcorn5650]

So you're saying your house REAKS BIG TIME! YUCK! FERRETS are a complete opposite of the pine Martin or a Fisher cat. A Fishers have been well known to kill adult BOBCATS, ADULT white tail deer, and are the ONLY ANIMAL that intentionally hunts porcupine. They're the porcupines number 1 threat and killer. They bite the porcupines face until it's too weak, then they begin eating it alive, through the stomach. Very strong, brutal hunters in the weasel family. They're also the ONLY WEASEL FAMILY, and any other tree climbing animal that can not only climb trees, but, the ONLY ANIMAL that can descend from a tree HEAD FIRST. they're EXTREMELY FAST, FEROCIOUS, critters. Still the most sought after fur to date in the lower 48. Next to bobcat, and wolves, they'll bring a nice payday at the fur buyers place.

[@robsorgdrager8477]

I do agree that ferrets have a smell. But if you bath them every two weeks and keep there cages clean it's no worse than a cat. Owning ferrets just means all the things that aren't bolted down just end up inside the bottom of your couch.😏

[@KeiFox]

My family has had two ferrets. An albino named Snoops, and a standard sable named Baxter, the latter being my pet ferret, and he was my best friend. He never bit me, only gave harmless playful love nips with his teeth, but never sank them onto my finger. He was a little stinky, but that's still natural, even for a de-scented ferret, and it never bothered me. He got a bath frequently, had his claws trimmed, and was given plenty of good care and lots of love.

[@xXJanValentineXx]

@@johnredcorn5650 Actually, no. They have a subtle musky odor, but do not 'stink'. The more you bathe them, the worse they will smell, because their skin feels the need to produce MORE oils. Once a year is fine for a ferret. Linens need to be washed once to twice a week, litter pans scooped 2-3 times a day. Proper diet also plays a large part in odor. Most people that own ferrets don't take these things into consideration. Ferrets are part of the Mustelidae family, same as Polecats, Otters, Stoats, Wolverines, Etc. I'm sorry whoever you've known does not properly take care of their ferrets. The most we ever had at once was 10, and guests did not even know we had them upon entering our home, or even their room, until they see the ferret themselves/their sleeping cage. :)

I look over to one side and there, sprawled across the branch of a pine tree lower down slope from the trail so the branch was at head height, was a drowsy pine marten maybe ten feet away from where we were walking. It was looking right back at me, yawned, and blinked a few times. It was pretty cool.

Had one of these adorable creatures follow us as we skied up the old mining road into Mayflower Gulch (Colorado). My buddy was like “whoa, is that a pine marten? I’ve always wanted to see one.” “Yeah, I think so, but they’re pretty reclusive, so I’m sure he’ll be gone in a sec.” Nope, the little dude was so curious he followed us for at least a half mile. Every time we thought we lost him, he’d pop his head up from behind a snow bank. I’ve been blessed to have hundreds of wildlife encounters in my outdoor adventures. This was by far the cutest wild animal I’ve ever seen.

[@xenai.]

aww that's such a cute anim- "NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THE DEER"

[@dragonwithamonocle]

Now I don't know about you guys, but my favorite member of the weasel family is the American Mink. I was up in the thousand islands area, and there was a mink living around the cottage we were staying in. I had a rubber boat, and when I was being really quiet and low paddling around the little cove, the mink was watching me from the shore. I was real close in the weeds, just laying down in this inflatable boat, watching this amazing little brown mustelid stare me down. She (I say she because this was a smaller individual) seemed more curious than anything, and later in the day I actually got her to eat a goby that I caught. She came within three feet of me. I will never ever forget that experience.

[@jwilliams123]

its like the most adorable thing ever imagined with a wicked set of teeth.

[@douglasstewart518]

I had the great fortune to see one in the Mts of CO several years ago-very lucky sighting!

[@HairlessLittleLass]

The pine marten has surprisingly long legs for a mustelid! I am obsessed with pine martens. And just weasels in general. The pine marten is (in my opinion as well as straight up facts) one of the most beautiful things in the animal kingdom! I can't get enough of the wee beauties.

[@ariel6091]

My favorite member of the weasel family is Ron

[@vihaan1287]

One time my friends and I were playing outside. We heard a loud thump behind us, and I turned around and it was a crying baby raccoon. The mother had died, or abandoned them, we assumed. Over the next few days, the baby raccoons kept falling out of the tree. We fed them, there were three, and we put them in a box until we figured out what to do. They slept in the box outside by the tree for a day until we found a place for them. I was playing outside at school the day after we had put them in the box, and the tree where they were was in full view of the playground. I witnessed a lady steal the box of three baby raccoons. I never saw them again. That is the closest encounter I ever had with wild animals.

[@genericpersononyoutube3656]

F*** YOU LADY

[@isaiahglazdon2506]

+LiterallyMe well if they died they would be in a better place, and maybe with their mom :) think of the bright side, maybe the raccoons werent in the box, who knows? maybe she let them free? like i said, who knows

[@karlzone2]

That is one of the stupidest things I have ever read, Isaiah Glazdon...

[@SuperWarinoBros]

What a jerk.

[@rickybizzaro3966]

A lady was feeding and taking care of raccoons and the there neighbor poisoned and killed the raccoons 😭😭😭😭

[@halted_code]

my family has owned ferrets for quite a while. they are a lot of work, but they are so playful, the last 3 or so that we have had loved warm showers and fruitloops as a treat, they were some of the most expressive animals that my family have ever owned.

[@jakeferguson2842]

By far the cutest animal he has encountered yet🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@NickolasFaz]

it seriously looks like a..... catdog.

[@HuongNguyen-fn9qe]

is it a cat or a dog?foxes....?.no one knows

[@CodyDuck]

yeagh the pine marten really does look like a cat dog

[@cegspace5033]

i thought it looked luke a weasel and a very small tiger

[@legoryazcreation4791]

+NathanBuildzMC yes because it was dicsovor and indentfied it is in the weevil family

[@lawow74]

+Nickolas Faz It's not surprising, considering both Caniformia and Feliformia evolved from a common ancestor. Some members of Carnivora retain traits closer to that extinct ancestor. A prime example is the Genet, thought by some biologists to be the closest living resemblance(morphologically speaking)to said ancestor.

[@anthonybell5666]

ITS SO ADORABLE! I WANT ONE

[@94neuman]

Same😍

[@catkuro2527]

One time, I found a dead bird on a school play ground. Decapitated Head, Wings, feet, and a lone torso. And there's a fence there so I have no clue about it. Pretty F'd up.

[@anthonybell5666]

Kitty Cat wtf?

Absolutely amazing! What absolutely beautiful patterns, such sharp teeth, and the ability to climb like a boss, what an amazing animal.

[@amanchase2025]

It’s teeth look so perfect,but perfectly clean,and beautiful cute,nice,and cool.

[@domenicromero8216]

Here at 10,000 plus feet where I live, when I go up into the mountains I see them on the ground all the time. They go into the rocky terrain to hunt marmots ( oversized ground hogs)! They get absolutely massive up here (colorado) relatively speaking!
