Dekers Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Another question for the stoat/weasel/etc experts, because I don't pretend to be...... How long has that been dead, I would have thought most would still be in their winter coats, and that certainly isn't?

FalconFN Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Stoats don't always have winter coats, in fact I don't think I've ever seen a fully white one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgum Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 You learn something everday, never seen a weasel in the flesh only stoats and stand corrected, so thats a weasel then. My mate has a white stoat mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotslad Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Good quesion, about the stoats winter coat, i've seen both white, brown and mixed stoats in the past, i guessed it must be some sort of trigger (and according to wikipedia i'm right) seemingly to do with temp when stoat moults about Nov time, further north u go more likely to turn white, possibly quite rare to tun white down south Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vampire Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 here is another picture just to show its size against my hand,,nasty looking thing as said i think it has been killed when the field got ploughed,,hope they dont eat fish as my perm is next to a commercial fishery and the land owner won,t be happy You will need to have your wits about you if these killers have invaded your permission,the baby one in your pic would of ended up about 3-4' long and they have been known to leap out at people from their abush point,usually around dusk,several people a year suffer from bites,although never fatal the wound can fester and amputation of limbs is not uncommon,around late harvest packs have been seen,these are usaully males just looking for anything to kill and its these killer packs that are to be feared, because they have none and will attack anything regardless of size.

aister Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 The stoats up here go white in the winter with the black tip on the tail. I have a ermine stoat beside a taxidermist just now and a stoat in his summer coat in the freezer for stuffing too. when I get them both done I will post some pics.
