The scientific name of the Great Nest Weasel is Galictis vittata. The Great Nest Weasel is territorial and nocturnal, and is sometimes active in the morning. It can climb trees and swim, but rarely does it and spends most of its time on the ground. They live alone or in pairs and mainly eat small vertebrates, such as fish, amphibians, birds and other mammals.
