Specimen of the Month: Little Carnivores

What do weasels, otters, and martens have in common beyond their long and lean stature? These animals are members of the family of Mustelids, and all are innately poised for eating flesh. 

Least weasels are tiny—in fact they are the smallest mammalian carnivores in the world. While they only weigh about the same as a slice of bread, they can hunt animals as large as young rabbits!
