Well, in the interest of maintaining our >credibility, I really think we should realize that the Black Footed Ferret >is still a ferret, and is truly wild. Many "wild animal lover" people I >know are actually more familiar with the BFF... Yes, the BFF is wild. Do you know why it is called a ferret? When the colonists came to America and first saw the BFF they called it a *ferret* because it looked like the ferrets they brought over on their ships to catch rodents. Still, it's not the same as the domesticated ferret. Toni & Dinky [Posted in FML issue 2236]
