What is the difference between a ferret and a weasel?
They have a lot of similarities – both are part of the Mustela Genus, both are carnivores, both perform the famous ‘weasel war dance,’ both have long slinky bodies, and both are very clever and sneaky! The biggest difference is that ferrets are domesticated and weasels are wild. Also, ferrets tend to be bigger than weasels, but weasels have a longer tail.
