Long Tailed Weasel

(long tailed weasel found at creative commons search on creative commons)

The long tailed weasel is a cutie that I found yesterday while walking my father's dog "Mushoe". The small critter is black and brown and has an yellow tummy. It is about the size of a small cat and lives in a hole or burrow.

The small animal will suck eggs from a birds nest and eat small rodents. If  you see one around your home be considerate since they do eliminate your vermin that tends to invade homes. They are throughout North, South and Middle America. It's a member of the mustelid family.
