The '''weasel war dance''' is a colloquial term for a behavior of excited [[ferret]]s. The war dance usually follows play or the successful capture of a [[toy]] or a stolen object. It consists of a frenzied series of sideways and backwards hops, often accompanied by an arched back, dooking{{Fact|date=June 2007}} or hissing noises, and a frizzy [[tail]]. Although the weasel war dance may make a ferret appear frightened or angry, they are often just excited and are usually harmless to [[human]]s. This term is analogous to ''binky'' in [[rabbit]]s and ''popcorning'' in [[guinea pig]]s. |

The term was popularized by (among others) [[Scott Adams]] in the [[Dilbert]] [[comic strip]]. |

The weasel war dance is a colloquial term for a behavior of excited ferrets. The war dance usually follows play or the successful capture of a toy or a stolen object. It consists of a frenzied series of sideways and backwards hops, often accompanied by an arched back, dooking[citation needed] or hissing noises, and a frizzy tail. Although the weasel war dance may make a ferret appear frightened or angry, they are often just excited and are usually harmless to humans. This term is analogous to binky in rabbits and popcorning in guinea pigs.
The term was popularized by (among others) Scott Adams in the Dilbert comic strip.
