Natural World: Weasels - Feisty & Fearless
Members of the weasel family are often portrayed as the villains of the natural world, but do they deserve this reputation? By following the adventures of a tiny orphaned weasel named Twiz, this film reveals the true nature of these pocket-sized predators, which relative to their size have a bite more powerful than a tiger's. In Yorkshire, a unique garden rigged with over 50 cameras gives a rare insight into the dramatic life of a mother stoat as she tries to raise her first family. And new science uncovers the problem-solving abilities of the honey badger, the secrets behind the ferret's legendary flexibility, and the remarkable sense of smell of the wolverine. Together, using their extraordinary skills, this feisty and fearless family have conquered the planet.

Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

I wish I was the world’s leading expert in Ferret Locomotion….

Anybody that's ever had a ferret and had one of those clear plastic tubes, they run in that's maybe only 3 to 4 inches in circumference, know that ferret can run through that tunnel, turn around completely in that tunnel by bending in half and run the other way at top speed, they don't slow down unless they're sleeping. 😹

“Is the world’s leading expert of Ferret Locomotion”
Gritty, western music playing and a slow-motion walk. Finally, the people who actually do good in the world are getting the recognition they deserve.

Of course the leading expert in Ferret Locomotion's first words are "Ferrets are really neat !"

I have two ferrets and watching them play is endlessly entertaining. One of mine is actually a polecat/ferret hybrid and her agility and climbing ability is incredible.

My friend once called ferrets "noodle raccoons" and that's all I can call ferrets now

I have the pleasure of owning 4 ferrets, and seeing them dash through their little clear tube (and sometimes going BACKWARDS because they end up trying to go in opposite ends at the same time) is always so crazy. They're like little noodley rockets.

I once came across a ferret someone had released in a woods in wiltshire. It came out of a hedge, sniffed my ankle for a few seconds and then bit down and held on. I shook my leg so much and it went absolutely flying
