A ferret has no survival mechanisms.They have been domesticated so long and have lost any ability to survive on it's own and have no inherent fear of other animals A survival mechanism is anything that helps an organism elude capture by predators. If a ferret was in the back yard and was attacked by a raccoon, it would use it's sharp teeth to ward off the raccoon.
