Thats what i am trying to establish , i have found some interesting stuff collated in New Zealand about '' feral ferret'' & they do appear to live in colonys, so are they ferrets or polecats Quote Link to post
TOMO 29,746 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 they are ferrets, there were NO wild mamls in N.Z untill europien settlers arived. i think the imformation you are reading is probly missleading . when they say wild colonys , they are probly refering to many individual animals in a certan area. but not to a group of animals living together, like rabbits in a warren.

TOMO 29,746 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 no thats just it they dont , ferral ferts and wild polcats are the same animal , and live solatry lives, unless breeding Quote Link to post

Netter 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 TOMO, I'm being a pedantic twat here, but your wrong. (New Zealand - Wikipedia) Until 2006, it was thought, barring three species of bat (one now extinct), there were no non-marine native mammals. However, in 2006, scientists discovered bones that belonged to a long-extinct, unique, mouse-sized land animal in the Otago region of the South Island Quote Link to post
