The ferret has a long, flexible body, short limbs, and a good set of teeth.
God designed ferrets to be flexible, which allows them to fully turn around while in their underground burrows. Ferrets also make good pets since they can be trained to do tricks and to use a litter box. They can also be friendly with other domestic animals, like dogs and cats.
