23. NSiS: Florida Wildlife - Mink And Weasel Mink weasel. This family (Mustelidae) includes minks, weasels, skunks,and otters. It is also commonly called civet cat and weasel skunk . http://www.nsis.org/wildlife/mamm/weasel.html

This family ( Mustelidae ) includes minks weasels skunks , and otters . They are small to medium-sized. Their long tails are never banded. The Mink Mustela vison , is found in coastal habitats along the Gulf Coast south to Hernando County and along the Atlantic Coast south to Matanzas Inlet. It is glossy, blackish brown with a long (20-24"), slender body, short legs and a long (7-8") bushy tail. It has small rounded ears and a white chin. It is active primarily at night, foraging for food in the water and along the banks. Diet consists of mammals, frogs, insects, birds, reptiles, and fish. Breeding season is from late winter to spring. Litters of 3-4 kits are born about 50 days later. PROTECTED The Everglades Mink Mustela vison evergladensis , is found in shallow freshwater marshes of the Everglades and Big Cypress Swamp. It is similar in appearance to the mink described below but a darker brown. Its diet is primarily crayfish, fish, and small mammals. There is evidence that the breeding season is from September to November. PROTECTED The River Otter Lutra canadensis , is found in most freshwater habitats in the panhandle and peninsula. It is glossy brown with a paler or gray tan underside. It has an elongated 35-43" body with a long (12-16") muscular tail. It has a small, flattened head, small, rounded ears, short legs, and webbed toes.

Of the family known as the musteleleds, weasels can be found in a variety of central Oregon habitats, ranging from the Cascade Mountain crest to the desert scrublands. Species occurring in central Oregon include, the weasel, otter, wolverine, mink, fisher, and marten. Weasels are small to medium sized carnivores with short muzzles, short legs with five toes on each foot, highly developed anal scent glands, and small rounded ears. All species of the weasel family are predators, preying upon terrestrial vertebrates or aquatic species. Although many species of the weasel family are active during daylight hours, otters and weasels tend to be nocturnal.

Agricultural Controlling Nuisance: Weasels University of Missouri Extension Missouri Department of Conservation U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service These small predators are fearless fighters and do not hesitate to attack victims many times larger than themselves. Their principal food consists of small rodents, but larger mammals, cold-blooded vertebrates, birds and insects may be taken. At times they raid poultry houses at night and cause severe losses of domestic fowl. Control Trapping. Weasels have a curious nature and are rather easily trapped in No. or No. 1 steel traps. Professional trappers in thickly settled areas use an inverted wooden box a foot or two long, such as an apple box, with a 2- to 3-inch diameter opening cut out in the lower part of both ends. Dribble a trail of oats or other grain through the box. Mice will frequent it to eat the grain and weasels will investigate the scent of mice. A trap should be set directly under the hole at each end of the box. Keep the trap pan tight to prevent the mice from setting off the trap. Traps set in old brush piles, under outbuildings, under fences and along stone walls also are suggested, since the weasel is likely to investigate any small covered area. Trap sets should be protected by objects such as boards or tree limbs to prevent harming other forms of wildlife.

Personalize this site WEASELS O f the 11 members of the weasel family known in Colorado, only two actually are called weasels: the long-tailed weasel and the short-tailed weasel, or ermine. Both of these species have black-tipped tails, but they are readily distinguished from L ong-tailed weasels live statewide in Colorado in most habitats, perhaps favoring brushy areas at the edge of forests where their rodent prey is most abundant. Short-tailed weasels occur mostly in the mountains. In addition to mice, weasels eat shrews, chipmunks, small ground squirrels, nestling rabbits and ground-nesting birds. They are quite capable of subduing animals larger than they by wrapping their long body around the prey and killing it with a quick bite at the base of its skull. Although owls take a few weasels, no predator can afford to make a staple of another predator. R eproduction involves mating in summer, a long delay in implantation of embryos and gestation of about 30 days. Four to nine tiny young are born in April. Back to "Lions, Ferrets & Bears" Home Page

Wildlife of the Churchill Area Churchill is located in the transitional zone between arctic tundra and boreal forest allowing residents and visitors alike to enjoy a wide variety of wildlife. The listing below is based on material compiled by Peter Scott, former Scientific Coordinator with the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, and furnished by Jack Dubois, former Curator of Mammals, Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature in Winnipeg. Jack will once again be co-instructing our 2004 with Kim Monson of the University of Winnipeg. Mammals Large Herbivores: Moose (Alces alces) can occasionally be seen. Their habitat is marginal until well upriver. Woodland caribou and barren ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are seen in small numbers in the Twin lakes area. Hunting pressure makes them hard to see. Bats: The red bat (Lasiurus borealis) is rare. Muskrats: Muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) are fairly common and beaver (Castor canadensis) are present in fresh water and expanding in population size. Porcupine are present in low numbers. Rabbits: Two species of hare live in the region: the snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) and the arctic hare (Lepus arcticus). The arctic hare is the more common of the two.

Contact Us Search Location: Alberta Government Sust. Res. Dev. Fish and Wildlife Wildlife in Alberta ... Weasel Family Relationships Last Review/Updated: May 31, 2002 The skill and ferocity weasels display while hunting has earned the respect of many people. The Inuit believed the weasel's skin possessed spiritual powers and their hunters carried these skins in the hope of greater success. Inuit also called the wolverine "Ke-wa-Kees" or "Evil One." They believed he possessed the soul of an Inuit hunter damned to plunder the traplines of other hunters. Otters were kept by King James I of England to fish for his supper, and a "Keeper of the King's Otters" was appointed to tend them. The members of the weasel family are highly prized for their pelts. The winter pelt of the short-tailed weasel (ermine) has long been associated with royalty. It was the fur trade which originally brought Europeans to western Canada and many of the early trading posts gave rise to our towns and cities. Fur garments are still in demand today and trapping of wild populations remains an important part of Alberta's economy. Today, thousands of mink are raised in captivity and mink farms are found throughout Alberta, particularly where a food supply, usually fish, is abundant. Some weasel species are considered pests by farmers. Skunks and weasels are often attracted to farm buildings where they find shelter and ample food in the form of mice and other rodents. Though often accused of hen house raids and considered as vermin, their beneficial role in pest control far outweighs the damage they cause by eating a few chickens or eggs.

SUBSCRIBE NOW to Pesticide News for the most comprehensive quarterly information on pesticide problems and alternative developments, with extensive articles, resources, news and reviews on UK, European and global developments https://secure.virtuality.net/panukcom/subs.htm PAN International Website Rodenticides impact on wildlife The control of rodent pests is essential in many environments, indeed it is a legal requirement for land owners and local authorities. The main weapons in the battle against rats and mice are anticoagulant rodenticides, which inhibit the vitamin-K cycle, prevent blood clotting and cause death from internal bleeding. Warfarin, developed in the 1950s, is probably the best known anticoagulant, but second-generation compounds, such as difenacoum and bromadiolone, are now the most widely used. Anticoagulants are acutely toxic to most mammals and are highly effective control agents because of their cumulative effect and low lethal dosage. Usage of anticoagulants is most common in and around buildings, and certain active ingredients, such as flocoumafen and brodifacoum, are only licensed for indoor use. However, farmers and gamekeepers also commonly use anticoagulants away from farm buildings, to protect feed hoppers and root crop clamps. When rodenticides are used away from buildings it becomes much harder to control their impact on non-target species. Other mammals, such as rabbits, mice and voles are just as likely to ingest the cereal based bait and these species form a major part of the diet of many predators. Anticoagulants have long biological half lives, so predators may be especially vulnerable as residues from each contaminated prey item accumulate in the liver.

Michigan.gov Home MI Watchable Wildlife Home Links Contact DNR ... Night Species Weasel Family Members of the weasel family vary greatly in size, appearance, and behavior, but they all have low-slung bodies, short legs, and short, rounded ears. Most are nocturnal, so the best time to look for them is at dusk and dawn. Weasel Weasels are long and slender. They have brown bodies with white underparts and a black tip on the tail. In winter, they turn completely white except for the tail tip. Adult males are about 12 inches long (including the tail); females are half that size. Weasels spend most of their time on the ground hunting. Mink Minks are long and thin, but larger than weasels. Adult males are 20-30 inches long (including the tail). Their bodies are chocolate brown to black except for white chin patches. They live and hunt on the ground near water and are good swimmers. Marten Martens are taller and stouter than mink. Adults are about two feet long, including their long, bushy tails. They usually have orange or buff-colored throat patches. Secretive and elusive, martens spend most of the time in the trees and are rarely seen.

WEASEL: ferocious predator a blur as it closes in on its victim LIKE a tiny tiger in its ferocity, the weasel strikes terror into the shy inhabitants of hedgerows or fields when it sets out to hunt them. Savage in its pursuit of prey, the bigger male still measures just eight inches long without its stubby tail and weighs about four ounces. Whether shooting across the road like an elongated mouse, or bounding excitedly after its quarry, the weasel is usually moving too fast for close study. Described memorably by one observer as looking like an 'animated cigar', the weasel boasts a beautiful chestnut coat which gives way to a milky white underside. Still widespread across the country, it nests in any available crevice, giving birth to five or six young at a time. Smaller than its equally vicious cousin, the stoat, the weasel's dexterity and acrobatics are legendary. Mice and voles are its main prey but weasels will also take rabbits and rats when they can overpower them. Nesting songbirds are another favourite target and its ultra thin body means the weasel has no difficulty slipping inside most garden nestboxes. Even boxes whose entrance holes measure less than an inch and a quarter in diameter are not safe.
