What is a "grison"?

The grison, also known as the South American weasel or hurón, is a small carnivorous mammal that belongs to the Mustelidae family. It has a slender body, short legs, and a long tail. The grison has a striking appearance, with a dark gray to black coat on its back and a white or cream-colored belly. Its face is characterized by a black mask-like pattern around the eyes, which gives it a unique and intriguing appearance.
