This young weasel was a bit camera shy as it explored the great outdoors. And the outdoors was where it belonged and not inside a house with its three other siblings that required a weasel wrangling event to get them back outside. The Short-tailed Weasel (also called Ermine) is brown during the summer with white feet and undersides and a black tip on the end of the tail. In the winter, they turn white except for the tip of the tail. Weasels are fierce predators eating mice, rabbits, birds and other things as a weasel eats about 30 percent of its weight each day.
