So are you a biology mastermind or real good at using Google? Did you know the answer?
Q. What small pet has a scientific name that translates to mouse catching stinky thief?
A. The ferret. The domestic ferret’s scientific name is Mustela putorius furo.
Mustela (the Genus name for ermines, ferrets and weasels) = mouse catcher
putorius = stinky
furo = thief

As a ferret owner, I do have to say that ferrets have a bad rep about stinking. They have a musky odor, some people may not like it while other people actually spend money to buy musk perfume*
Wow, that’s a cool fact!! Musk is good
lol I guessed it right only because you said “stinky” and “thief” in the same sentence.
