| | Stoat |
 | | The stoat is sometimes mistaken for its close relative, the weasel, but it is larger and has a distinctive fl tip to its tail, whereas the weasel's tail is all brown. |
 | | Stoats in the northern part of their range, such as the tundra and North America, turn white in the winter, except for the tip of the tail, which stays fl. |
 | | The stoat is active by day or night but when it does rest, it does so in a hollow tree, a rock crevice, under a log or stone wall, or a burrow from one of its prey victims. |
