The stoat (Mustela erminea), also known as the ermine or short-tailed weasel, is a species of Mustelidae native to Eurasia and North America, distinguished from the least weasel by its larger size and longer tail with a prominent black tip.
You saw either an ermine - a stoat with winter colouration - or a weasel, some populations of which, especially in areas that have snowy winters such as Montana, also grow a white coat with a black tip to the tail, in winter.
A black tip reef shark is called a black tip reef shark because its fin and tail has black markings on the top.
I dont know but they live in Maine as well, I found this site trying to that same question, It sounds like a Weasel to me. They are white in the winter, with a black tipped tail. I think a garment made with the fur is called 'Ermine"? Akemai: It should be Stoat, also known as Ermine when they turn white.
From tip of nose/mouth to tip of tail, Black Moors regularly grow to over 10 inches and have been known to get much larger.
Most species of weasel seem to be doing well. We have plenty here in NC and they are rarely seen because of their nocturnal habits. The only species of concern is the least weasel, which is decining in some areas. The population is estimated at 700,000
they are black with 2-3 white lines down its back to the tip of his tail
Up to seven feet from nose to tail tip in the largest subspecies.

Yes. It is symetrical along its spine, from the front of its head to the tip of its tail.
A black eagle which is a predatory bird that breeds in the tropical areas of Asia, is about 70 to 80cm in length from wing tip to wing tip. From tail to beak it would be less than half that.
