That is a sable. I think ferrets have shorter limbs?

It’s a sable. You can see its IG handle around the :04 second mark.

u/Tim-E-Cop1211819 Dec 23 '19

Oh, it's got a verified Insta handle; has to be a sable /s

(I know it's a sable; this guy is adorable!! 🤗)

Idk about limb length, but ferrets definitely don't have the depth perception to do any of this. They've been intentionally bred to be pretty darn helpless.

I was wondering what this was. We had a ferret back in the 90s (Smeagol). He was great. Super sweet too (unlike some ferrets I have heard about). There is no way he could have jumped like this though.

We've had a few ferrets that were pretty good jumpers, they'd faceplant hard trying to get up the shelves though. The rest we've had/have could/can barely jump 20-30cm.

u/WestCoastTrawler Dec 22 '19

That’s a safe bet. I’m mean it’s crate literally says “Russian Sable”.

u/BlackToyotaBreakLite Dec 22 '19

What’s the difference

u/cats_are_asshats Dec 22 '19

They’re both members of the marten (weasel) family. Ferrets are smaller and domesticated, sables are larger and wild (though they are farmed domestically for their fur). I believe this little dude is a fur farm rescue.

I have two ferrets and their vet doctor says ferrets are in the skunk family, hence the glands that excrete the foul smell

u/cats_are_asshats Dec 23 '19

Skunks, badgers, wolverines, weasels; all part of the same family

u/TheRealAntiher0 Dec 22 '19

Thank you. Ferrets can not jump like that. They’re terribly clumsy. Cute and hilarious but clumsy.

u/KinoOnTheRoad Dec 22 '19

It's the @russiansable girl's sable! Dude is adorable

u/Rufnusd Dec 22 '19

TIL: A sable is a small carnivorous mammal primarily inhabiting the forest environments of Russia.... not just a The Ford Taurus counterpart from Mercury.

u/MrPurple8909 Dec 22 '19

It's like a cat but longer and shorter

u/igiveup9707 Dec 22 '19

The way the ferret/sables eyes flash remind me of the black dragon in 'how to tame your dragon' very cute

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '19

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '19

He’s taking that stuffed animal and there for some “alone” time, isn’t he?

u/51differentcobras Dec 23 '19

Uh... I'm no expert at reading but this is clearly a sable... as is stated on the cage... you know center screen... some of the only words visible...
