Collectible Wildlife Gifts | Weasel, Plastic Animal Toy, Model, Educational, Animal, Gift, 2 1/2 " CWG123 B238

Weasels,  are  mammals  of the  genus  Mustela  of the  family  Mustelidae. The genus  Mustela  includes the  least weasels,  polecats,  stoats,  ferrets  and  European mink. Members of this genus are small, active predators, with long and slender bodies and short legs. The family Mustelidae, or mustelids (which also includes  badgers,  otters, and  wolverines), is often referred to as the "weasel family". In the UK, the term "weasel" usually refers to the smallest  species, the  least weasel  (M.  nivalis),  the smallest  carnivoran  species. Least weasels vary in length from  173 to 217  mm (6+3 „4  to  8+1 „2  in),  females being smaller than the males, and usually have red or brown upper coats and white bellies; some populations of some species  moult  to a wholly white coat in winter. They have long, slender bodies, which enable them to follow their prey into burrows. Their tails may be from  34 to 52  mm (1+1 „4  to 2  in) long. Weasels feed on small mammals and have from time to time been considered  vermin  because some species took  poultry  from farms or  rabbits  from commercial warrens. They do, on the other hand, eat large numbers of  rodents. Their range spans  Europe,  North America, much of  Asia  and  South America, and small areas in  North Africa.
