>It's called a prepuce. I think "prepuce" actually just means "foreskin". I thought a ferret thingy was called something like a "bacula"; I had read that somewhere, but just now when I tried to look it up in Random House/Webster's, the closest thing I got was "baculiform" meaning "rod-shaped", which is I suppose descriptive of many things, not just ferret boy parts. "Bacula" sounds plural to me -- if the word is actually used, shouldn't it be "baculus"? As if the world of animal naughty-bits were not confusing enough, I recently read an article about Komodo dragons in which I learned the males of this lucky species actually have two organs called "hemipena".
