Snow weasel – “…they are also solitary and territorial. Neither sex will allow another weasel of the same sex in their home territory, though males will tolerate the presence of multiple females.”

    Snow Weasel…
    He’s the stoat, the stoat with the blizzard touch,
    A wizard’s touch!
    Icy whirls he will swirl in your fur,
    But his eyes are dis guy’s main allure,
    A frozen girl knows when he’s kissed her,
    It’s the kiss of frost,
    From lips of Snow Weasel…
    He loves cold,
    He loves only cold,
    He loves cold,
    Snow Weasel.

    So a male weasel will allow multiple females, but the females won’t allow another female. Sounds like the male is going to kick back and watch some female weasel fighting…maybe in jello. And the winner gets….HIM!

  14. y knot says:

    oh, no, no, non. There’s no business like SNOW business. Snow what uh mean?

  15. ashagato says:

    • y knot says:

    This photo could be an illustration for the extraordinary essay by Annie Dillard, “Living Like Weasels.” Read, read, read, like a stoat, stoat, stoat! Or something. Truly. Enjoy.

      Annie Dillard has some wonderful material !!!!
      A fellow “literature-atti ” shared the following title with me about 15 yrs ago.
      Some really intriguing observations throughout …

      Here is a link to a screen with a reasonably enjoyable and — to my mind — accurate review of her book Pilgrim at Tinker Creek (orig. released, mid-1970s). NOTE while this page has my name on it, under the HEADLINE of the article, it shows the guy’s name who actually wrote this review. I cut-and-pasted his article but EDITED down some of the content,
      to get it to just a few lines of info. (I don’t know how long amazon keeps these pages in place or whether it will be visible to others …but I’ll give this a try. If it doesn’t work and you wanna see it, let me know & we can try to come up with some cautious way with an email address).

  21. Soraya says:

    Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.

  22. Noelegy says:

    It’s nearly 80 degrees Fahrenheit in Texas and very muggy.

    That snow looks sooooooooo beautiful. As does Le Stoat.

  23. Becky Slam says:

    Pop! Goes the weasel. He’s SO cute!

  24. Emmylee says:

    oh my gosh…that nose! the whiskers!

  25. Beeps what could possibly be the most beepable nose in CO history

    BEEEP!

    Ah, the annual sighting of the Election Day stoat. So you will remember to “Vote, vote, vote, like a baby Stoat!” I did!

  27. Cassie says:

    Arrgh! I almost forgot to vote today because this little guy didn’t tell me to Vote! Vote! Vote like a stoat!!

    How quickly our brains become dependant on external reminders…obvy, I check CO more often than the newspaper/radio/interweb in general :-) .
