Animal of the Day!
Altai Weasel (Mustela altaica)
(Photo by David Blank)
Conservation Status- Near Threatened
Habitat- Central Asia
Size (Weight/Length)- 300 g; 27 cm
Diet- Rodents; Rabbits; Fish; Amphibians; Insects; Small birds
Cool Facts- Despite looking like a plushie, the Altai weasel is a weasel nonetheless. Their short legs and long body gives them the agility they need to hunt pika and voles through rock piles and burrows. Their excellent vision helps in spotting prey and predators alike. Altai weasels are generally solitary outside of the mating season in which males try to mate with as many females as possible. The female can delay her pregnancy until periods of excess resources to feed both herself and her babies. The Altai weasel is strictly protected and programs to protect their habitat are helped by conservation groups around the world.
Rating- 12/10 (You may look but no touchy.)
