How does a short tailed weasel look like?
The short-tailed weasel, also known as the least weasel, is a small mammal characterized by its slender body, short tail, and smooth fur. It typically measures about 6 to 12 inches long, with a tail that is around 1.5 to 4 inches long. Its fur is brown in summer, turning to a white or pale cream color in winter, with a distinct brown patch on its throat. This agile predator has a sharp face and small, rounded ears, making it well-adapted for hunting small rodents.
How many different types of weasel are there?
Depending on what you define as a "weasel", there are either 12 or 17 varieties. That is, of the 17 members of the genus Mustela, there are 5 who do not have the word "weasel" in their given name. They are the Stoat, which has weasel in it's common name in some parts of the world, and the Steppe Polecat, the European Mink, the Black-footed Ferret, the European Polecat. The 17 species of weasel (and their common name) are: 1. Mustela africana - Tropical Weasel 2. Mustela altaica - Mountain Weasel 3. Mustela erminea - Stoat (also known as an ermine or a short tailed weasel) 4. Mustela eversmannii - Steppe Polecat 5. Mustela felipei - Columbian Weasel 6. Mustela frenata - Long-tailed Weasel 7. Mustela itatsi - Japanese Weasel 8. Mustela kathiah - Yellow-bellied Weasel 9. Mustela lutreola - European Mink 10. Mustela lutreolina - Indonesian Mountain Weasel 11. Mustela nigripes - Black-footed Ferret 12. Mustela nivalis - Least Weasel 13. Mustela nudipes - Malaysian Weasel 14. Mustela putorius - European Polecat (it is thought that the European Polecat was dometsticated and became the domestic ferret we know today) 15. Mustela sibirica - Siberian Weasel 16. Mustela strigidorsa - Back-striped Weasel 17. Mustela subpalmata -Egyptian Weasel There used to be 18, but the American Mink has since been renamed Neovison vison. I believe it is the only surviving member of the genus Neovison, as the others were hunted to extinction for their fur.

An Ermine with white fur in the winter is also known as aStoat when it has brown fur in the summer Ermine is the name given to various species of weasel during the winter season when the fur of those living in colder climates turns white.

Ermine only turn white in winter because they live in cold climates, and this allows them to blend in with the snow so its more difficult for predators to find them.In certain parts of North America, like Canada, the ermine is also called a short-tailed weasel. This breed is distinct from from the long-tailed weasel (mustela frenata) and the least weasel (mustela rixosa), which live in warmer climates.
