Marbled Polecat

The marbled polecat (Vormela peregusna) is a small mammal belonging to the
monotypic genus Vormela within the mustelid subfamily Ictonychinae. Vormela is
from the German word Würmlein, which means "little worm". The specific name
peregusna comes from perehuznya, which is Ukrainian for "polecat". Marbled
polecats are generally found in the drier areas and grasslands of southeastern
Europe to western China. Like other members of the Ictonychinae, it can emit a
strong-smelling secretion from anal sacs under the tail when threatened.
Ranging in length from 29–35 cm (head and body), the marbled polecat has a
short muzzle and very large, noticeable ears. The limbs are short and claws
are long and strong. While the tail is long, with long hair, the overall
pelage is short. Black and white mark the face, with a black stripe across the
eyes and white markings around the mouth. Dorsally, the pelage is yellow and
heavily mottled with irregular reddish or brown spots. The tail is dark brown
with a yellowish band in the midregion. The ventral region and limbs are a
dark brown. Females weigh from 295 to 600 g, and males can range from 320 to
715 g, being significantly smaller than the european polecat and slightly
smaller than the saharan striped polecat on average. The marbled polecat is
native from southeastern Europe to Russia and China. Its range includes
Bulgaria, Georgia, Turkey, Romania, Asia Minor, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan,
Israel, State of Palestine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
north-western Pakistan, Yugoslavia, Mongolia, China, Kazakhstan,
North-Siberian Altai steppes. In 1998, a marbled polecat was recorded on the
Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. Marbled polecats are found in open desert, semidesert,
and semiarid rocky areas in upland valleys and low hill ranges, steppe
country, and arid subtropical scrub forest. They avoid mountainous regions.
