Black footed ferrets, as well as domestic ferrets, share the common but rare trait of having an inverted spine - this makes them very very flexible, able to twist in odd ways and fit through small openings. However, it prevents them from bending backwards, due to the direction the spine faces. This fact also explains why they often look hunched or rounded.
