Hi again!
I know the talk about the urban myth about ferrets being domesticated by the
Egyptians is either dead or dying, but I'd like to put my two cents in. I
was watching a special on Egyptian mummies (It isn't over yet so I'll hafta
make this pretty quick!) and I saw a strange-looking animal. IMHO, I think
it was a civet cat. I don't know if they were in Egypt at that time or not,
but that's what it looked like. It could've been a genet. I think both of
these critters are related to the mongoose. Anyway, it also could've been
mistaken for a ferret. It DID look kinda like one. It was standing right
next to some Egyptian guy. Does anyone know where I could see a picture of
the animal showed to Fox Morton? If anybody knows where, I'd appreciate it
if they'd post it. Just wanted to drop a line about that "mystery
creature".
Raisins to the fuzzies,
JP and the Fuzziebutts! 8:><:B (Kissing fuzzies! ;)
