A Spunky Little Short-Tail Weasel Deftly Avoids Getting Caught by a Cautious Coyote Peterson

While on location at the Steve Kroschel Wilderness Center in Haines, Alaska, Brave Wilderness host Coyote Petersen attempted to meet face-to-face with a spunky little short-tail weasel who decided to control the encounter instead. Rather trying to catch the misleadingly adorable animal for a closer look and suffering a terrible bite, a cautious Peterson used his camera to follow the fast-moving weasel.

The Short-Tail Weasel, which is also known as a Stoat or an Ermine, cover a vast territory spanning from North America to Eurasia. They are famous for their spunky and ferocious personalities as well as their extremely energetic mannerisms…one thing is for sure, Weasels are always on the move!
