Weasels
Weasels are mammals that can grow from fifteen to thirty-five centimeters and can be recognized by their light brown upper coat and white belly. Many weasels that live in high latitudes moult to a white coat and spot a black spot of fur at the tip of the tail when winter hits.
They have long slender bodies, which enable them to follow their prey into burrows. Their tails are typically almost as long as the rest of their bodies. As is typical of small carnivores, weasels have a reputation for cleverness and guile. They also have tails that can be anywhere from 22-33 cm long and they use these to defend the food they get and to claim territory from other weasels.
Weasels feed on small mammals, and in former times were considered vermin since some species took poultry from farms, or rabbits from commercial warrens. Certain species of weasel and ferrets, have been reported to perform the mesmerizing weasel war dance, after fighting other creatures, or acquiring food from competing creatures. In folklore at least, this dance is particularly associated with the stoat. Collective nouns for a group of weasels include boogle, gang, pack, and confusion. Weasels are found all across the world except for Australia and neighbouring islands.
