  1. The weasel is an animal that we see fairly often. It kills rabbits but does not eat the flesh: it only sucks the blood. it is like a ferret but thinner and of a reddish brown colour. It is a lot faster than a rabbit: it is wicked and would spit at you. They are generally seen about stone fences and other along the stones. It is great to watch the weasel minding its young and getting them over the stone walls.
