Answer 6

There is only one type of domestic ferret but there are members of the family, Mustelidae (weasels) that are also a type of ferret.

The ferret is a domestic mammal of the type Mustela putorius furo. Domestic ferrets typically have brown, black, white, or mixed fur, have an average length of approximately 20 inches (51 cm) including a 5 inch (13 cm) tail, weigh about 2-4 pounds (1 kg),[1] and have a natural lifespan of 7 to 10 years.[2][3][4]

Several other small, elongated carnivorous mammals belonging to the family Mustelidae (weasels) also have the word "ferret" in their common names, including an endangered species, the Black-footed Ferret. The ferret is a very close relative of the polecat, but it is as yet unclear whether it is a domesticated form of the European Polecat, the Steppe Polecat, or some hybrid of the two.

Ferret people have made up many ferret colors over time, but really, there are only four basic colors. The Sable (including chocolate and dark), Albino, Dark Eyed White (DEW), and the silver. All the other crazy colors of a ferret fall right into one of these four categories.

The ones recognized by the American Ferret Association are as follows:

Colors:

    * Albino

    * Black

    * Black Sable

    * Champagne

    * Chocolate

    * Cinnamon

    * Dark-eyed White

    * Sable

    * Silver

    * Blue

Color concentrations:

    * Standards

    * Roans

    * Point (Siamese)

    * Solids

Markings:

    * Blaze

    * Panda

    * Mitt
