SNOW WEASEL
Description:
A Long-tailed Weasel in its winter coat. Sometimes called an Ermine, although that name technically only applies to a Short-tailed Weasel in winter coat. She may look cute,but these guys are feisty,sometimes called "hair trigger mouse traps with teeth". I was only about 5 feet way from this guy when I took this photo,and got to watch her for over 5 minutes,and she even caught a vole while I was watching,but their so fast most of my action shots didn't turn out. It made my day!
