Shown in its chestnut-brown summer fur and in its winter coat, this weasel, searches for prey. The weasel often
hunts for animals like mice, rats, birds, or rabbits for as long as four or five hours each day. During the winter months,
weasels in the northern regions of North America, Europe, and Asia exhibit a dramatic change in their fur
coloration, from the usual chestnut-brown and white to snowy-white except for the black tip of the tail.
