Best Answer

In Great Britain, the Least Weasel was known simply as a weasel, and this is the original use of the word. In general use, "weasel" on its own, is now usually applied to the genus, and in America it is used as a common name for a number of species.

Mustela Nivalis Nivalis, Mustela Erminea, Mustela Frenata, Mustela Nigripes are the four common to North America.
