Anybody that's ever had a ferret and had one of those clear plastic tubes, they run in that's maybe only 3 to 4 inches in circumference, know that ferret can run through that tunnel, turn around completely in that tunnel by bending in half and run the other way at top speed, they don't slow down unless they're sleeping. 😹

The wild version are called _pole_ cats (skunks are named after ferrets, in fact), but surprisingly this isn't a reference to their length, but rather the fact that they like eating _poultry_ .
I have the pleasure of owning 4 ferrets, and seeing them dash through their little clear tube (and sometimes going BACKWARDS because they end up trying to go in opposite ends at the same time) is always so crazy. They're like little noodley rockets.
I once came across a ferret someone had released in a woods in wiltshire. It came out of a hedge, sniffed my ankle for a few seconds and then bit down and held on. I shook my leg so much and it went absolutely flying
Ha! Ferrets can go much faster than this. In fact, I'd say faster while in a tunnel. When I had ferrets, when they'd go inside their clear "clothes drier hose" and I'd run my hand quickly over the hose, they would bolt through the hose even faster than when they are out in the open.
cat-sneks are liquidated mischief. they can turn into liquid the way vampires turn into mist to sneak inside and steal and hide one shoe from every pair you own then dance and laugh at you as you limp around with one shoe on, searching frantically because you are late for work.
A simple (primitive?) experiment setup though, very inspiring. Much could be learned about its locomotor flexibility, cost effectiveness etc., to name a few.
Those animals are incredibly useful in warfare tech research. Imagine building tiny war robots capable of mimicking this movement technique? Flying objects are so mainstream now and easily detectable. But underground? Once you detect the enemy you're already dead.

Choose ferry locomotion instead. It's more profitable!
Don't we all😭

Lmao. So true. They never stop until they drop
No but I really want to get one for them
@@Pikachew675 Amazon I think they're like 10 or 15 dollars. I kind of think it's overpriced, but most pet toys are. 😄
@@Pikachew675 if you do, ferret proof your house. they're worse than babies or cats at finding trouble you didn't even know existed and embracing it.
I know right. My girlfriend has 4 of them one of them is a bit of a fatty but god does he move.
Of course the leading expert in Ferret Locomotion's first words are "Ferrets are really neat !"
"an animal in liquid form", that's such an interesting way to put it

"Apex predator" we didnt get to where we are today by hunting. It was farming.

"ferret locomotion" isn't a term i thought i'd hear today

My friend runs a Ferret Rescue. These are such intelligent and cheeky little animals ❤️
@@JNL37Dyxce5 why are you tagging bird bath vids everywhere?
If it isn't too much trouble do you know if they do adoptions as well? I'd like to know the name of their rescue as I'd like to look into them.
My friend once called ferrets "noodle raccoons" and that's all I can call ferrets now
They're also commonly called "cat snakes".

Remember if your a small rodent be aware of the floof noodle:

Found someone else who has a ferret with a shoe addiction 😂 rocket steals my shoes as soon as I come home
The power of evoluation never ceases to amaze me..
"Ferrets are really neat"
This just reminds me how much I miss having fuzzrats in my life!
Soft and smooth
Every time I look at these videos, I have to go play with my ferret.
God i miss my Gus. He was a huge white ferret, and a total boofhead.

in the future maybe you shouldn't let your ferret smoke weed
legit i watched this cuz our ferrets can fit under the bathroom door 💀

I never thought of ferrets as wild animals
I mean, there about as "domesticated" as cats are .
Maybe even less.
Soooo cool!!! Thank you for sharing and showing. 🐾🕊❤️
My back got hurt watching this 😭😭
Very cute!
They can be on both sides of a corner at the same time.☀️
I love BBC Earth.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

They also steal things and hide them in your couch.
And under your dresser where you find them in 5 years when you decide to rearrange your furniture 🤣🤣 plus a boatload of paper money !!!!
Imagine a car chassis with this kind of flexibility, control and stiffness.
The people who design our world need to look in nature to do better.
Way to go buddy!
Wacc furret, wacc!

I always wondered how can a ferret move in tight spaces, now I know.
They are cute but they are prededor.
very good video👍❤thank you share!!!!
Always remember to stimulate your ferrets
