Abstract:
Although there are three species of weasels in North Carolina, the Alleghenian least weasel, the New York weasel, and the Southern weasel, the animal is scarce in the state. Many people consider this a blessing because the weasel is one of the most bloodthirsty predators in North America. Amundson describes the weasel's characteristics, food habits, mating, enemies, and economic value.
