Weasels are a group of mammals that live on all continents around the world. They belong to the family Mustelidae. The Mustelidae family includes many different species, such as otters, minks, skunks, and meerkats.
The body of a ferret is spindle-shaped, about 30-90 cm long, the tail is usually very long, and the body is covered with soft hair or protective scales. Weasels are extremely athletic and can move freely on land and in water, and can hunt short-legged prey such as rodents and frogs.
Different species of ferrets have important impacts on ecosystem functioning, with otters improving water quality and skunks helping to control the populations of certain pest species. At the same time, some species of weasel have been threatened by overhunting due to the commercial value of their fur. Therefore, in order to protect these rare species, many countries have begun to take relevant protection measures.
