A ferret is in the weasel family. Of the 16 extant species currently classified in the genus Mustela, ten have "weasel" in their common name. Among those that do not are the stoat or ermine, the two species of mink, and the polecats or ferrets. Weasels vary in length from fifteen to thirty-five centimeters (six to fourteen inches).
