🧐Who have we here?🧐 Hint: it's one of Vermont's six Mustelids (members of the weasel family)! Post your guesses in the comments, and we'll reveal the fieldmarks we used to ID this critter tomorrow morning. Update 3/14: And the answer is... MINK! The size is the main thing here. We used those old maple leaves for a rough sense of scale, letting us estimate that it's bigger than a grey squirrel but smaller than a house cat. That means this critter is too big to be a short-tailed or long-tailed w

Badger cam, courtesy of Holly Pippel. Members of the Mustelid family, which includes otters, weasels and wolverines, badgers are mostly nocturnal and live throughout the western U.S., Mexico and Canada. They have powerful legs and massive foreclaws used for digging dens and hunting mice, prairie dogs and ground squirrels, though they occasionally feed on certain plants and vegetables. Weighing up to 30 pounds, badgers have been known to partner with coyotes to hunt. Studies have shown that the c

The polecat is member of the mustelid family, which includes the stoat, badger and otter, and is roughly the size of a ferret - its domesticated cousin. Until recently polecats were on the brink of extinction caused by persecution. However, the good news is they have been undergoing a recovery and can be found in rural Wales and parts of England. We have captured some great footage of them on the beaver enclosure trail cameras. | Cheshire Wildlife Trust

Meet the North American river otter. These semi-aquatic members of the Mustelid (weasel) family are geared up for Mount Rainier’s chilly waters. From thick water-repellent fur to ears and nostrils that close, they’re built to spend hours swimming and hunting in glacier-fed rivers and ponds. River otters have short legs, webbed feet, a long, narrow body, and flattened head. They have vibrissae, or sensory hairs, on their snouts that sense turbulence and help them locate prey. A strong tail helps

Alexis Broz on Instagram: "A sunset sushi dinner for two! 💚🦦🦦 Macaroni and Murphy are working on their winter physique. Packing on a couple of pounds helps, but their incredibly high metabolisms as members of the mustelid family is what will really keep them warm against the impending winter chill. River otters consume extreme amounts of food (up to a third of their body weight daily) and their bodies act as furnaces to keep them warm in even the coldest temperatures. Sliding and playing all

Have you ever wondered what an American wolverine sounds like? It's a bit different than the Australian wolverine a.k.a. Hugh Jackman. 😉 If you haven't, you're probably wondering now. Turn your sound up to hear this animal's ferocious growls. 🔊 Wolverines, the largest land-dwelling species in the mustelid family, are famous for their tenacity — they've been known to prey on animals as big as moose. Yet their tenacity alone cannot save them from the threats they face including dwindling, unprot
