Strangely, there hasn’t been one of these yet (that I know of). So let’s fix that and get a thread going for all things pertaining to Mustelids - some of the hardiest, most enduring mammals.
This includes: Ferrets, Stoats, Wolverines, Badgers, Otters, Minks, Weasels, Martens, Grisons, Skunks, etc.
Ownership and advice for owning is also naturally welcome.

Cats would usually benefit from having another cat around, yes, although ideally it’d be cats you know get along like littermates, in this case get another male to be safe

A grizzly bear can run around 40 MPH (so they say, IDK how precise of experimental conditions they tested this under) does that make it the fastest plantigrade animal?
What ARE the actual big advantages and disadvantages of digitigrade vs plantigrade walking?
Does walking on the toes make you not get tired as fast?
Could something with flat feet ever hunt in a similar way to how a lion or tiger hunts?
>>
>>4796897
I don't exactly remember the reason, and I'm too lazy to look it up, but I think it has something to do with the points of contact on the ground, digitigrade has less, so the gait ends up being quicker and more "spring loaded". Plantigrade is really only good for balance and load bearing.
>>
>>4796996
did bears evolve from digitigrade ancestors?
All of the proto caniforms and proto carnivorans I can find are digitigrade.
>>
>>4797203
Yeah, I'm pretty sure all modern mammals evolved from some little digitigrade shrew scumbag, bears probably became more plantigrade as they started to rely less on speed and agility, and more on strength and sturdiness.

I know this might sound a bit out there, but am in dire need of some advice. Am currently facing a situation that’s not just affecting my sanity, but is clearly a sign of worse things to come...
It all started about two weeks ago, and I’m not sure if it’s because I’m an easy target or what, but there’s this bee that has been relentlessly bullying me.
I’m not exaggerating here. This bee has somehow picked up on my deep-seated disgust of its kind and decided to make my life a living nightmare. Every time I step out of the house, the damn thing is there, waiting. It’s almost like it can smell my fear – and trust me, there’s a lot of it. Now, I don’t want to sound like lil weak basedboy, but this bee is seriously messing with my fucking head! I’ve tried to stand my ground, but every time it gets close, I can’t help but flinch and run. Can bees sense fear?
What’s even more troubling is that this bee seems to be targeting me specifically. I’ve noticed it hovering around the gals in the house – my mom, my sister, and even the dog – but it doesn’t seem to bother them as much. At first, I thought it was just interested in the floral perfume they use or the snacks they were holding, but now I’m starting to think this bee is trying to assert dominance over me to take control of the household.
I know what you’re thinking – it’s just a bee, right? But it’s not just about this one bee. If this menace can terrorize me so effectively, what’s stopping it from rallying an army of bees to take over the neighborhood? Today it’s my backyard, tomorrow it could be the entire country. We could be looking at a bee uprising, and no one seems to be taking this seriously except me.
My attempts to address this diplomatically have failed miserably. I tried to explain the situation to my family, but they just laughed it off, saying it’s just a bee and I should man up. Fuck that! I see through it's facade.
