stoats
Brown-coated weasel relatives
Stoats are small, slender carnivorous mammals related to weasels, found across Europe, Asia, and North America.
They have reddish-brown fur that turns white in winter—when the animal is called an ermine.
Stoats are fierce hunters despite their size, preying on rabbits and rodents.
A stoat darted across the path and vanished into the hedgerow.
