  Weasel war dance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
Although the weasel war dance may make a ferret appear frightened or angry, they are often just excited and are usually harmless to humans.

Weasels are mammals in the genus Mustela of the Mustelidae family.
Weasels feed on small mammals, and in former times were considered vermin since some species took poultry from farms, or rabbits from commercial warrens.

Although the Sun Dance comes nearest to being a communal ceremony of any Blackfoot rite, it is in reality a composite of particularized ceremonies, conducted specifically for individual goods and incidentally for community benefits.
The occasion for the Sun Dance is a vow, taken by a woman of general virtue and particularly of sex virtue that if she or someone in danger is spared, she will give the Sun Dance.
