Ferret vs Weasel

June 23, 2020 by Larry Hubbell 2 Comments

Tuesday (6-23-20) 11:30 a.m. This ‘ferret’ was last seen under the green dumpster on E. Louisa St. immediately east of 24th Avenue. It has white paws and a black tip to its tail. Owner wanted asap. It successfully dodged traffic crossing and recrossing 24th but it is a dangerous undertaking.

After some more reading I have learned that ferrets have tails about 5 inches long and weasels have tails nearly as long as their body. Based on this new information I am concluding this is actually a weasel. Maybe it has been attracted by all the rabbits.

    Some New Zealand mustelid trivia… Here we have an introduced relative called a stoat. Pretty much hated by all because stoats eat birds’ eggs and chicks. The Vashon-sized island where I live is actively trying to kill off the stoat population. The entire country has a goal to eliminate them everywhere by 2050. -Jeff (former Montlake resident)
