| Ferret-Badgers. Why did it have to be Ferret-Badgers? |

That's a Ferret-Badger. It's a south-east asian species of badger that's about the size of a ferret. They're related (they're both mustelids), but the ferret-badger is a true badger. The ferret-badger is one of the exotic species that's being investigated as a possible source of SARS. This doesn't really surprise me.
Ferrets have long been used to investigate human respiratory system diseases because of similarities in how our lungs work. We're very careful with Grainne when one of us has a respiratory ailment.
And I've got to say, Ferret-Badgers and Raccoon-Dogs make some of the mutant animals in Gamma World look reasonable.
