Is That a Ferret in Your Pants Or…

MINI BELIEVE IT OR NOT –

The sport of ferret legging requires a person to set a ferret, sometimes two, loose in their pants—underwear is prohibited, and the ferrets must have a full set of claws and teeth.

In the sport, the ankles of the pants have to be tied off
The man that endures the moving and scratching ferret the longest is declared the winner
The longest time endured is five hours and thirty minutes
Ferret legging is mostly a pub activity, but it’s thought to have originated with bored coal miners in Yorkshire England



MINI BION
“BIONs” – short for Believe It or Not – is the word we use at Ripley’s to refer to anything that is unbelievable and worthy to become part of Ripley’s lore and collection.
