Stoat
Seasonal Change
A stoat's fur color changes from brown to white in winter to blend in with snowy environments.
The stoat's winter coat is so white that it's almost invisible against the snow.
Not a Rodent
Although small, don't confuse a stoat with a rodent; it is actually a predator that hunts them.
Despite its size, the stoat is a fierce hunter of mice and voles.
Habitat Specific
Stoats live in places with abundant underbrush or woodlands, mainly in the Northern Hemisphere.
You might see a stoat if you walk through dense woods.
