It's big and scary

In this blog I would like to talk about the ferret, It's not a animal big and scary but I think it is an incredible animal. It is a mammal that belongs to the same genus as the weasel, it is long and thin. The roots of ferrets are found in ancient Egypt, around 3700 BC. In America it was one of the last places where it was incorporated. The name "ferret" is derived from the Latin furittus, meaning "little thief".

 I remember that in primary school my nature teacher had a ferret and took him to classes, since that day I loved it. It is a domestic animal, in Chile it is not very common to have it as a pet, but in the United States it is the third most frequent animal after the dog and the cat. This animal sleeps for 14 and 18 hours a day, but when he is awake he is very active and playful, they are very curious and like to explore their surroundings, is really restless, but I remember that I liked to play with him.

Regarding their teeth, they are very small like those of a hámster but if they are not domesticated or are stressed, they can tear the skin because this are hunting animals.

These animals have become so common that they can walk on a leash like a dog.
