A Business of Ferrets

source

These are ferrets. As I have mentioned, a group of ferrets is called a BUSINESS.
These guys do look pretty business like, I guess.
I grew up not liking ferrets because they were always eating Mum's chickens. But these guys don't look so bad. Once I saw a girl taking a ferret for a walk on a lead in the botanic gardens. I really enjoyed the way it moved.
Here is a video, just in case you haven't seen a ferret running. I love that weird bendy bit in the middle of their back.
They kinda make me think of long, stretched-out cats.

Actually, after spending the past half-hour  watching videos of ferrets and reading ferret facts I may just have a new favourite animal :)
