Also arent the ferrets in New Zealand called stoats - a wild/feral type that
were deliberatly introduced and not the domestic type you get in Australia?
They have three feral mustelids there as far as I recall:
+ Ferret (Mustela furo) (most likely wild ancestral form = European
Polecat Mustela putorius)
+ Stoat (Mustela erminea) (Ermine in winter coat)
+ Weasel (Mustela nivalis)
