Ferrets Go Wild

I came across this video clip of a ferret doing his weasel wardance … it’s an absolutely gorgeously funny little video to watch and shows our favorite animal doing what he loves best – living life to the max!

Talk about carpe diem! :-)

Otterly adorable

This is so incredibly cute … I don’t know how long they’ll keep the clip there but I do hope you all get to see it.

It was so funny to watch the baby just bobbing there while mommy went for a quick zip around the pool! They really are special little animals!

Baby otter learns to swim with a little help from its mum.

A tiny sea otter pup is mesmerizing visitors at an Aquarium in Wakayama prefecture, 500 kilometre southwest of Tokyo.

The baby, who has not named yet, was born on March 30, weighed 1.2 kilograms.

I’m thinking of renaming Seamus …!

Butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth, would it? Look at him, lying there so innocently!! Trouble? Who me? Neah!

Well, I reckon Seamus should be called Noah as he is definitely my water weasel, or otter even.

I told you about him taking bottle tops off and flooding the floor with the contents. Now he has moved on to more challenging things – as I found out to my horror last week.

SABLES AND THEIR ILK

Again, why do people have such a problem with little carnivores being carnivores? You’ll see the poor little sable being referred to as a “killer” – and yet, there is no explanation on how the creature will survive if it doesn’t kill to eat!
* sigh *

Anyway, it’s an interesting article about various mustelids in Japan so well worth reading :-)

SABLES AND THEIR ILK
Cuteness belies killers’ true nature
By MARK BRAZIL

Movement in the snow; the surface bulges, bursts, and out pops a creamy-faced creature with round black eyes like tiny beads and a stare that seems to say “I can kill.”

Man tortures ferrets online

I came across this news report and am speechless!

Why do people do such things?! “Relieve stress” he claims … * snort *!

I know what I’d like to do to him and then he’d know what stress really was!
