The ermine, also known as a short-tailed weasel, has a body well suited to chasing down its prey. Long and slim, with short legs, they pursue smaller prey through grasses, up trees, across rivers, in snow and directly into their tunnels and dens.

They can take down prey as much as ten times their weight, including rabbits, hares and woodchucks!

    That’s exactly when I ran into the girl of my dreams

    Her name was Zelda

    She was a calligraphy enthusiast

    With a slight overbite and hair the color of strained peaches

    I’ll never forget the very first thing she said to me

    She said “Hey, you’ve got weasels on your face”

      That’s when I knew it was true love

      We were inseparable after that

      Ah, we ate together, we bathed together

      We even shared the same piece of mint flavored dental floss

      The world was our burrito
