Bill, can you tell us where you got this information about the black footed
ferret and chinese polecat breeding program?  Actually, I'd like to know
more about those cute BFF's after watching that special. . .their behavior
was so much like the domestic ones.  Any particular resources, on or off the
web?
 
Thanks.
