Pardon me, but Jack Hannah is an idiot. The animals that he had on
David Letterman's show were NOT European polecats, but marbled
polecats. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbled_Polecat

Marbled polecats, like other polecats, weasels and ferrets, are members
of the Mustelidae family. They are NOT members of the skunk family
(Mephitidae). Skunks were moved into their own family over a decade
ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk

Nevertheless, the polecats were adorable as were the loris and serval
cat!
