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! Linda [Posted in FML 6354]
