Ferret-like animal (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

weasel

(Other definitions for weasel that I've seen before include "Proverbially deceitful mammal" , "These animal words are intentionally misleading" , "Animal; sly person" , "Stoat-like animal" , "Old jingle 'Pop goes the . . . . . .'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
