The ermine, also known as a short-tailed weasel, has a body well suited to chasing down its prey. Long and slim, with short legs, they pursue smaller prey through grasses, up trees, across rivers, in snow and directly into their tunnels and dens.
They can take down prey as much as ten times their weight, including rabbits, hares and woodchucks!
I always confuse them with stoats
Weasels are weasily identifiable and stoats are stoatally different
'A stoat can be easily told from a weasel by the simple fact that his tail is blacked and his figure is slightly the bigger.'
Was told that way back when I was a kid, no idea if it's true though.
