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)
