Weasel

Caption

Weasel (Putorius nivalis/Mustela vulgaris) the smallest European carnivore. [1828]. Often confused with its larger relative the Stoat (Mustela erminea), a confusion expressed in the English country saying "A Stoat is weasily recognised, whereas a Weasel is stoatallly different." From "British Quadrupeds", W MacGillivray, (Edinburgh, 1828), one of the volumes in William Jardine's Naturalist's Library series. Hand-coloured engraving.
