He's adorable.

ferociously cute
I nominate this as the modern replacement of the Pikachu meme. Thank you.
I love it, but stoat bb looks a bit excited/happy. The pikachu one works so well for me because he looks blasé*(mon)*—he looks “shocked” in a sarcastic, “oh wow, how surprising.” type of way that hits just perfect.
You're good at reading critter expressions! You should consider doing it for a living! (In my best grandparent you should become a musician voice) 😂
Where do I leave my signature for this petition?
Aw! Who’s so ferocious? You are! Yes, you are!
He looks cute, but when fully grown, he will hunt prey up to 5 times his size, like rabbits and hares. Beware the cute murderer!

Couldn't find a better nibbler gif, this is a travesty
We have a little mink that lives at our cottage. It’s this sweet little thing that bounds across the rocks along the water. And within 5 minutes it returns carrying massive fish, frogs, or mice - I don’t know how it hunts so fast, but it is clearly an effective killer
It's a good thing I'm at least 6 times his full-grown size then.
Shoot, I have some updated info for you. Turns out they can take down prey 10 times their size.
Run.

Welp, it's been an honor and a pleasure.
The other rabbits seem weirdly indifferent to what's going on.
Because they understand the stoat is killing to feed. One rabbit will last a stoat for days. That when Steve was really an asshole anyways. So the others have nothing to worry about until the stoat is hungry again.
Yeah, Karen is next up...
That cameraperson was sweating
Damn! Dude's a persistence hunter too! Like early humans hunting mammoths!
Also: those other rabbits are stone cold 😆

Friend of mine has chickens, a stote dug a hole under the wall and went through a decent number of the flock before he was able to figure out and 'neutralize' it
Shout-out to Inscryption
Obligatory comment from me every time Inscryption is mentioned, please please please:
Please please go play The Hex if you liked Inscryption. If you’re reading this and liked Inscryption, go play it. It’s Daniel Mullins’ previous game. I played Inscryption when it first came out, then passed over The Hex because the screenshots on Steam had weird graphics. I saw someone on R*ddit say:
“If you liked Inscryption, go start The Hex now, blind. Don’t pay attention the the graphics; they’ll make sense about 20 minutes into the game. Don’t read the description or watch a trailer, spoilers everywhere. It’s cheap, and you’ll at least enjoy it if you liked Inscryption.”
I took the advice, and I LOVED IT SO MUCH. I love how the graphics end up working out, and without saying much, it has such wonderful, innovative concepts. Inscryption has more replay value, but in my opinion, The Hex is even better. It’s criminally underrated and that person on the bad site was right about it.
My partner and did Pony Island as a one-shot, then did The Hex over the next couple evenings. Love it so much, please go play it, it deserves more recognition!
also Pony Island 2 is on its way—I don’t get hyped for games every anymore since every big series I’ve loved has fucked me one way or another, but I AM SO MUCH HYPE FOR PONY ISLAND 2

"Look at me. I am the master of this world now."
FYI as it can be quite hard to tell
Weasels are weasely recognised, stoats, otoh are stoatally different
If a ferret is a snake cat, then these really are snake mice :D
The most adorable of danger noodles!
"highly active"
Omg, the best Zoomies!
I mean, those ARE pretty great zoomies, but have you considered piglet zoomies?
This is adorable and totally made my day!

Content Warning - Stoat doing stoat stuff. Animal death. Turn back now, etc...
They are remarkably cute, and twice as vicious.
We have one that lives in our firewood lean-to
spoiler
in the winter and I have seen it spring out from between two pieces of firewood, grab a blue jay, and pull it back through a space that a bird of that size should not fit into in the blink of an eye.
By the time I could cross the 5 or 6 feet to peek between the rows of wood it had already dispatched the bird and hidden somewhere to feast. All that was left as a clue was like 3 spots of blood and a couple of tail feathers.

It's basically a small, hairy snake.
Looks like a ferret
They're both weasels, so that's not weird
