ГОРНОСТАЙ (MUSTELA ERMINEA).
Небольшой и очень активный зверёк, один из самых маленьких хищников. Длина тела — 17-38 сантиметров (из которых 6-12 сантиметров приходятся на хвост), вес взрослых зверьков — 70-260 граммов. Телосложение типично для куньих: длинное, тонкое, гибкое тело на коротких лапах. Окраска очень характерна: летом горло, грудь и живот желтовато-кремовые, остальное тело окрашено в рыжевато-бурый цвет; зимой весь зверек чисто белый, кроме задней половины хвоста, окрашенной (как и летом) в черный цвет.
Горностай активен утром и вечером. Ведет преимущественно одиночный территориальный образ жизни. В общении между собой большое значение имеют обонятельные (запаховые метки), визуальные и звуковые сигналы. В качестве убежищ используют норы убитых ими грызунов. Выводковые жилища устраивают в норах, дуплах деревьев, под навалами валежника. Горностай легко передвигается даже в совершенно затопленных местах, ловко прыгая по стеблям тростника, хорошо плавает. Питается грызунами, реже другими мелкими животными, падалью, ягодами. Иногда ходит по следам крупных хищников и подбирает остатки их добычи.Так же помимо грызунов, основу его питания составляют также крупные насекомые, мелкие птицы, яйца и птенцы. При изобилии пищи часто делает запасы. Ели пищи не хватает, горностай может покинуть свою территорию и отправиться на поиски более благоприятных условий.
Населяет тундры, лесотундры, хвойные и лиственные леса, лесостепи; по речным долинам проникает в степную и полупустынную зоны. Поднимается в горы до высоты 3500-4000 метров. Селится в основном в речных поймах, на опушках, зарастающих гарях и вырубках, в южных районах — в лесополосах и заросших балках. Часто встречается в агроценозах, лесопарках и даже населенных пунктах.
Максимальная продолжительность жизни — до 7 лет, но в природе подавляющее большинство горностаев живет не больше двух. Основные враги — лисы, куницы, крупные хищные птицы.
STOAT (MUSTELA ERMINEA).
A small and very active animal, one of the smallest predators. Body length is 17-38 centimeters (of which 6-12 centimeters are the tail), the weight of adult animals is 70-260 grams. The body type is typical for mustelids: a long, thin, flexible body on short legs. The coloring is very characteristic: in summer, the throat, chest and belly are yellowish-cream, the rest of the body is colored reddish-brown; in winter, the entire animal is pure white, except for the back half of the tail, colored (as in summer) black.
The stoat is active in the morning and evening. It leads a predominantly solitary territorial lifestyle. Olfactory (smell marks), visual and sound signals are of great importance in communication with each other. They use the burrows of rodents they have killed as shelters. Brood dwellings are arranged in burrows, tree hollows, under piles of deadwood. The ermine easily moves even in completely flooded places, deftly jumping along the stems of reeds, and swims well. It feeds on rodents, less often on other small animals, carrion, and berries. Sometimes it follows the tracks of large predators and picks up the remains of their prey. In addition to rodents, its diet also consists mainly of large insects, small birds, eggs, and chicks. When food is abundant, it often makes reserves. If there is not enough food, the ermine can leave its territory and go in search of more favorable conditions.
It inhabits tundra, forest-tundra, coniferous and deciduous forests, forest-steppe; it penetrates into the steppe and semi-desert zones along river valleys. It rises into the mountains to an altitude of 3500-4000 meters. It settles mainly in river floodplains, on forest edges, overgrown burnt-out areas and clearings, in the southern regions - in forest belts and overgrown gullies. It is often found in agrocenoses, forest parks and even populated areas.
The maximum lifespan is up to 7 years, but in nature the vast majority of ermines live no more than two. The main enemies are foxes, martens, large birds of prey.

Least weasel!
That video is not sped up.
Obviously the pine martens were the highlight of my visit, but I'd be lying if I said the polecats weren't a close second. They were just so active and friendly.
Came across your page randomly and I love seeing random mildly obscure and specific animals I like be brought up so thank you for posting about some of my favourite species and subspecies <3
Always happy to find a new mustelid enthusiast! I'm sorry I've been inactive, but I hope my latest and upcoming posts will make up for it!
I recently got the chance to fulfill a 10 year old dream of visiting the British Wildlife Centre, and meeting many of my favourite animals for the first time in my life!
Unfortunately I did not get to see the American mink, but I had so much fun seeing all the other mustelids, as well as the other animals like the foxes and owls, it was probably one of the best days of my life. I can't wait to share all the pictures and videos I took, so stay tuned for those!
Happy National Ferret Day!
My ferrets are my world and they are what kickstarted my interest in researching animals, especially musteloids!
I miss my friends on here
