Weasel

Weasels / wiːzəl / son mamíferos que forman el género Mustela de la familia Mustelidae. El género incluye las comadrejas, pericos europeos, stats, hurones y visones europeos. Son depredadores pequeños y activos, largos y delgados con piernas cortas. La familia Mustelidae se refiere a menudo como la familia de la comadreja. En el Reino Unido, el término "comadreja" se refiere generalmente a la especie más pequeña Mustela nivalis. Las comadrejas varían en longitud de 173 a 217 mm, siendo las hembras más pequeñas que los machos, y generalmente tienen capas superiores rojas o marrones y vientres blancos; Algunas poblaciones de algunas especies mueven a una capa totalmente blanca en invierno. Tienen cuerpos largos y esbeltos que les permiten seguir a sus presas en madrigueras. Sus colas pueden ser de 34 a 52 mm de largo. Las comadrejas tienen fama de inteligencia, rapidez y astucia. Las comadrejas se alimentan de pequeños mamíferos, y de vez en cuando se han considerado parásitos, ya que algunas especies tomaron aves de granja o conejos de corceles comerciales. Se pueden encontrar en todo el mundo excepto en la Antártida, Australia y las islas vecinas.

Weasels /ˈwiːzəl/ are mammals forming the genus Mustela of the Mustelidae family. The genus includes the weasels, European polecats, stoats, ferrets and European minks. They are small, active predators, long and slender with short legs. The Mustelidae family is often referred to as the weasel family. In the UK, the term "weasel" usually refers to the smallest species Mustela nivalis. Weasels vary in length from 173 to 217 mm, females being smaller than the males, and usually have red or brown upper coats and white bellies; some populations of some species moult to a wholly white coat in winter. They have long, slender bodies, which enable them to follow their prey into burrows. Their tails may be from 34 to 52 mm long. Weasels have a reputation for cleverness, quickness and guile. Weasels feed on small mammals, and have from time to time been considered vermin, since some species took poultry from farms, or rabbits from commercial warrens. They can be found all across the world except for Antarctica, Australia, and neighbouring islands.
