I think I've seen the impossible!  My oldest ferret, Silver (about 5 years
old now), decided he just *had* to have a drink from the large water dish,
even though his water bottle is only a few inches away from where the dish
is.  So... he stuck his entire face (eyes and all!) under the water and
sucked up water until he was full!  I don't know how he did that...no
breathing, no snorting, nothing...just sucking in water!
 
When he was finished, I had to dump out the dish and refill it, 'cuz he got
hair all over the water.  However, he just looked up at me like that was a
very normal thing for ferrets to do...then romped off to find a plastic bag
to play in! :)  My cat, Puffy, sat nearby and just watched him.  He had NO
idea what to think!
