William Shakespeare once wrote, “Though she be but little, she is fierce,” and while he was describing Hermia in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the same could be said of the weasel — a tiny, carnivorous creature with a bold personality. Weasels may weigh as little as 25 grams, yet they’re skilled hunters, able to take down prey their own size or larger. Known for their sneaky habits, they sometimes take over the nests of their prey and are even believed to extract the contents of eggs without breaking the shell. With their energetic “war dance” to confuse targets and their habit of storing leftovers in underground holes like miniature fridges, these small animals are impressively clever, fierce, and resourceful.
