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 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
