I was just watching the documentary "Living Britain" on the ABC. It's a four part series, with each episode about one of the seasons. This episode was about the spring. It had a male polecat in rut, and described how he spent his time following the scent of females in heat. No doubt leaving a yellow trail behind him... Later it showed a female polecat in her den with her kits, and described how she reared them alone. The kits were very cute (naturally!), and they were shown playing with each other. I will be watching next week to see if the summer episode features any more mustelids! Kylie Queensland, Australia [Posted in FML issue 2951]
