Weasel

Weasel

In general, weasels are small, slender mammals that are common across many countries. Often regarded as damaging pests, weasels are ruthless predators that prey upon rodents, birds, and, in some cases, larger mammals. The weasel is a cousin to the ferret, mink, badger, otter, and wolverine.




Long-tailed weasels are found in temperate and tropical habitats in North and Central America. These habitats range from crop fields to small wooded areas to suburban areas. They are not found in deserts or thick, dense forests. Their burrows and nests are in hollow logs, rock piles, and under barns. Sometimes instead of building a new nest, long-tailed weasels take over the burrow of one of their prey
