Stoat — size comparison — facts and sources
The stoat uses woodland margins, scrub and open feeding grounds with numerous retreats. Its narrow body helps it move through burrows and dense vegetation. The black tail tip remains recognisable even in individuals whose fur turns white for winter.
It hunts small mammals, supplementing its menu with birds and other available prey. Hunting activity alternates with rest in shelter. It may store surplus prey. Hunting success depends on cover and the abundance of food animals.
The female rears young in a retreat lined with soft material. The species has delayed embryo implantation. After leaving the nest the offspring gradually learn to obtain food independently.
