Marbled polecat Marbled polecat The marbled polecat ("Vormela peregusna") is a small mammal belonging to the monotypic genus Vormela within the Mustelinae subfamily. "Vormela" is from the German word "Würmlein", which means "little worm". The term "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 Mustelinae, 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.
