The age-old question...

Q. What's the difference between a stoat and weasel?

A. A weasel is weasily wecognised and a stoat is stoatally different.

The smallest carnivore on earth, the weasel (Mustela nivalis), pound for pound has a higher bite force than a lion, tiger or polar bear, which for their body size is very impressive and makes it one of the most unparalleled predators on the planet!
