This little guy was found by Jeewanthi near the FWG. Not having seen it, and not being able to see the entire animal, I'm not sure if it is a short-tailed or a long-tailed weasel, however Jeewanthi said the tail was very long, and another of our volunteers saw what he is very sure was a long-tailed weasel in the winter. So.... The former is more common, but the latter is also seen.

Such an adorable face! But a ruthless little predator! some of you may remember when we had a short-tailed weasel living in the hollow door frame of the centre about 11 or 12 years ago. The adult carried three youngsters up into the frame and then went and killed a young red squirrel, bigger than her, which she proceeded to drag up into the door frame!
