Ferrets have a streamlined body, with a long, flexible spine, short legs, and a pointed snout. They have a dense fur coat that comes in a variety of colors, including white, cream, brown, and black. Ferrets have excellent vision, hearing, and sense of smell, which make them skilled hunters. They are carnivorous animals that primarily feed on small mammals, birds, and insects. Ferrets are known for their playful and social behavior, and they are often kept as pets. They are curious animals that enjoy exploring their surroundings, playing with toys, and interacting with their human caregivers.
