  • Could the stoat be doing a "weasel dance" in order to try and lure or confuse prey that it sees? Mustelids are fairly well known for this -- it may not be play at all, but hunting. Did he eventually catch anything, or were other animals visible during the "dance"?

  • Someone else has mentioned this, but there were no other animals spotted in the area. I suppose there must be a good reason for it, but I prefer to think that it was just happy!

  • Actually, not odd at all. This is the way they confuse their prey right before they go for it.

  • I love how ferrets/stoats/weasels are always like OMGOMGOMGOMG ...Hi.... OMGOMGOMGOGMG!

  • In Japan, weasels are sacred and legendary animals, they say they move at the speed of the wind and hunt with sharp sickles!!!

  • @phatrobert 0:34 you'll see a rabbit in the top left of shot as the camera moves. I suspect this is who your friend is dancing for.

  • @phatrobert: A musician friend of mine has written a tu ne called The Dancing Stpat and has asked me to make his video a bit more interesting. Would you mind if I used your Frenctic Stoat footage? Thanks in advance for considering this.
