History:

Although they are mainly a domesticated species, ferrets have established a handful of colonies in the wild. Wild ferrets can be found in the Shetland Islands and areas of New Zealand. They are able to maintain their population numbers by coexisting and mating with the areas’ native polecats, which are a closely related member of the weasel family.
