In general use, a ferret is a domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo), a mammal first bred from the wild European polecat or steppe polecat at least 2,500 years ago. Several other small, elongated carnivorous mammals belonging to the family Mustelidae also have the word "ferret" in their common names, including the endangered black-footed ferret.
Contrary to popular belief, ferrets are not rodents, but members of the mustelid family, which also includes weasels, badgers, stoats, and otters.
