Weasel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (284 words) |
 | Originally the name "weasel" was applied to one species of the genus, the European form of the Least Weasel Mustela nivalis, and literary references to weasels usually refer to this species rather than to the genus as a whole. |
| Weasels vary in length from 15 to 35 centimetres, and usually have a light brown upper coat and a white belly; in many species, populations living at high latitudes moult to a pure white coat in winter. |
| Most weasels feed on small mammals, and in former times were considered vermin since some species took poultry from farms, or rabbits from commercial warrens. |
