@jamiebentonjones >.> you do realize that a stoat is a weasel right?

In Canada we call them weasels or ermine. They are pure white in winter with black tip on tail. They are this hyper all the time and are hard to see. There one second then gone the next. They are everywhere in Canada.

In spanish it is a huron (ooron, 'oo' like book).

Such amazing little creatures! They are so curious!

I think the confusion here lies with nomenclature (naming), this is Mustela erminea aka a STOAT if you're in certain parts of the world (England) however, some parts of the world, Ireland (and apparently Canada) "weasel" is used to refer to Mustela erminea (especially in Ireland because Mustela nivalis is not present). By weasel, they're not referring to the "weasel" of England, which is the Least Weasel (Mustela nivalis). I study the Mustela genus, they're a confusing bunch at times.

But a stoat is a weasel!, look at wikipedia!

[BlueTonguedBen]

Definitely a stoat you can see the jet black tip to the tail. Weasael's do not have this plus weasels are much smaller and I mean much smaller also the way it moves shows it's a stoat. I love these animals , mustelids : stoats , weasels, otters , mink etc you are a lucky guy to have one in there garden and putting a video on YouTube shows you care which is great.

@Stereotypeblackguy no they're not the same. But I'm pretty sure this is a stoat and not not a weasel. ref kcc . org . nz / weasels
