In Iowa, you can find wild mink, which are native to the region and often inhabit areas near water. However, ferrets are not native to Iowa, and while there are species of weasels, such as the short-tailed weasel (or ermine), they are present in the state as well. These small carnivorous mammals can be found in various habitats, including grasslands and forests. Overall, while some members of the weasel family are in Iowa, ferrets are not part of the local wildlife.
