Here is a definition of them, it really is more of a slang name for a white short tailed weasel, I was a trapper for years and thats what i called them, short tailed, some call them a least weasel which i really think is way off but...

" Snow Weasel

(Mustek nivalis), also short-tailed weasel and common weasel, a predatory mammal of the family Mustelidae. It is one of the smallest predators, with a body length of 13–26 cm, a tail length of 1.4–9 cm, and a weight of 30–250 g. It is smaller in northern regions and larger in southern regions. The body is slender and very flexible. The fur is dense but short. The summer coloring is yellowish brown above and white below. In the winter the fur becomes completely white, except for weasels in the south.

The snow weasel is distributed in Europe, Asia (except in the south), and North America. In the USSR it is distributed almost everywhere. Its habitats are varied—from forests to tundras, deserts, and mountains—and it is even found in villages. The snow weasel feeds on small rodents, which it hunts by entering their burrows. It reproduces year-round; there are three to nine offspring in a litter. Snow weasels are beneficial because they destroy harmful rodents. Their fur is of little value."
Hope this helps with any confusion..

Cool! Got your very own watchdog keeping the mice from chewing up the Plymouth Ron. As long as they don't start inviting their cousin Wolverine or Badger over..........Things could get a bit sticky at that point

Well, if they dont eat the car, or **** in it, let'em be. I'm tired of pulling mice, and their nests out of my heater blowers!

 

[Ron 73]

Naaa, Only thing i can see bothered is the lack of mice and the Decon box's full! Im still thinking i should catch them and relocate before they do there thing and make more. I just borrowed a live trap and i have a place in mind that they can make a good home... I think a abandoned old barn and a burnt house for some years will make them a great place to set up house keeping.

YY1;I've got one here that is almost as large as that cat-yes,I know it's a reworked pic. She's about 27-8 pounds,and she is not at all fat-just tall,long and BIG. She'd look close to that if held that way. Of course,if I tried that,I may not have a face left.

Are you sure thats not a white rat or something. Like those sea monkeys that grow in water when you drop the tablets in.

I had a pet ferrets once, very similar looking to a weasel, they are great little hunters, curious little guys too, they would get in almost everything imaginable...

 

[snakeyes]

[scotts74birds]

Studebaker M29C "Weasel"

This is my "snow weasel" .......designed for use in snow in 1942 by Studebaker for use by the US Army in WWII in Norway for raids on the German occupied heavy water plants. Now it's duty is parades and Memoral Day services.
