Bloody towney lol,,,weasels have a very short tail,,,the stoats tail is longer the same length as a small slim ferret,,,,and as said the stoats tail is black for about the last third...
If it's close enough long enough it's easy to tell them apart,,,b
Both creatures are great to watch,,,and all the times I've watched stoats hunt,,,I'm amazed at there tenacity ,,,amazing little creatures,,,
Strangely enough my dogs will hunt them ,they know the difference between ferrets and stoats,,,,but I don't like killing them so discourage the dogs from getting them
