    Wow, the depth of field makes this look so cinematic! Great camera work!

    In some parts of the USA, Polecat = Skunk. I still recall many years ago in southern Ohio, a friend had picked up some skunk babies in a field he was plowing and put them in a cardboard box. Back at home when his older brother came home and looked in the box, he jumped back and yelled POLECATS! : )

    Cat: omg what the hell is that Polecat: sup dude Cat: what you doing here? Polecat: just chillin
  • That’s a gorgeous polecat, the cat is ok too. I have a polecat (sometimes referred to as a masked sable) ferret. She is an absolute little sweetheart.

    You could see the cat thinking "I could have that! errr why isn't it afraid of me?.. Maybe not then..."

    First time I see the name Polecat being used, had to look it up.😂 Marten, Mink, Weasel, Ermine, Ferret. Names I know, and names I mix up quite easily. Even in my own language. Nice to have one more in the mix. 😅

    Im not sure what it is with Polecats, Pine Martens etc but it is possible to get quite close to them before: 1. they either seem to notice you or 2. they start to care. Maybe they have poor vision or smell.

    Looks like a Mink. Very dark animal there. Polecats are blonde under their outer fur. Looks a bit small to for a Polecat too 🤔
  • Polecats mark their territory with a stinky musk. When europeans came to america and smelled a skunk, it reminded them of polecats, hence the name.
  • Polecat to me is a nickname for a skunk. Even though I’ve lived for about a decade in Europe, I had never heard of a European Polecat. Looked it up..yep, that’s a polecat and one very confused cat.
