Cute little nippers. You've gotta wonder why some animals (like mink etc) are raised for their 'coats', but stoats aren't. Maybe because "stoat coat" just doesn't have the same ring....

Stoat #2 is my fav. Was this at the New Forest Owl and Otter sanctury, or is this another wildlife centre you've found that I now have to visit? Reminds me, I must post my otter pics from my visit, but I'm not sure if they belong in this forum or the bloopers and snapshots.

cheers, these were taken at The British Wildlife Centre
Have been to The New Forest Owl & Otter sanctuary but found it a bit hard for photography, spent most of the day shooting into the sun when I was there

These cute little tings turn white in the winter. Have you ever heard of ERMINE? the white fur on judges dress robes? Wild stoats were/are trapped in winter for their white coats.:thumbdown:


By the way great captures #1 and #4 are spot on :thumbup:

Cool - didn't know that stoats are also known as ermine. That might just come in handy in a trivia contest someday. :greenpbl:
