The ermine is a very slender carnivorous mammal that belongs to a larger group of weasels. It is also part of the Mustelid family. Apart from reproduction and child-rearing, this species has evolved to live and hunt alone, communicating almost exclusively through its scent glands.
The ermine’s diet consists primarily of small mammals such as rodents and rabbits. Other potential prey also includes frogs, fish, insects, birds, eggs, and much more.
The ermine inhabits forests and woodlands throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere of Eurasia and the Americas.
