Meet the piebald russian sable marten, a lovely rescued sable marten from a fur/farm

Some time ago I read about the sighting of several genets in South Africa, riding on rhinos and buffaloes. They seem to use the big animals as if they were busses or a kind of transport to travel. I couldn´t help to imagine how would be a mother genet teaching his kit to ride on them. Maybe they have special places as Bus Stop, or better said #Rhino Stop and they simply wait for the 5 o´clock´s Rhinoceros.

Did you know the word belette means weasel? It´s curious because the different words for the weasel as animal, are usually related with the#women in some way. I think I talked about this is a post years ago, but I´d like to repeat it today. Maybe is because weasels are so "femenine" in their look, so stylish, elegant, delicate but fierce and mighty animals, as the women empowerment represents. What do you think, are you brave like a weasel?

Ferrets can seem to be lazy pets, but it´s more like the opposite, because they are really lively small mammals when they are awake and they do need a good rest to refill their batteries. Read more on my IG post https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-LSBgnEh3/
