Stoat

[armb]

A stoat ran across the road ahead of me as I cycled in this morning. Stoats have a similar body shape and colour (at least in the summer) to weasels, but are larger, and have a longer tail with a black tip. So, not stoatally different, but still weaselly distinguished if you get a reasonable look.

it'd appear that I'm the one with the sheltered life: I've seen a domestic ferret (at the Otley Show - I don't think they were going to subject the poor thing to trousering), and once I just missed seeing an alleged badger (I saw the undergrowth move, and that was that).
