What is a "weasel"?

The weasel is a small, slender mammal known for its agile and ferocious nature. It belongs to the Mustelidae family, which also includes other animals such as ferrets, badgers, and otters. Weasels have a long, slender body with short legs and a small head. They are typically brown or reddish-brown in color with a white or yellowish belly. Weasels are known for their hunting abilities and are voracious predators, feeding on a wide range of small animals, such as mice, voles, rabbits, and birds. They have sharp teeth and strong jaws, which they use to catch and kill their prey. Weasels are also known for their ability to move quickly and navigate tight spaces, making them effective hunters in their natural habitats. They are solitary animals and are primarily active during the night.
