Adorable ermine
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!
Adorable, I love mustelids!

Nice, subscribed!
I'm feeling obliged to upvote and comment the cuteness of this little creature.
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.
Weasels on mah face!
That's exactly when I ran into the girl of my dreams
Her name was Zelda
She was a calligraphy enthusiast
With a slight overbite and hair the color of strained peaches
I'll never forget the very first thing she said to me
She said "Hey, you've got weasels on your face"
That's when I knew it was true love
We were inseparable after that
Ah, we ate together, we bathed together
We even shared the same piece of mint flavored dental floss
The world was our burrito
Awww those weasel hands
