Living environment:

The smallest carnivore that lives on the Arctic grassland all the year round is the weasel, or mink. In the Arctic ecosystem, or in the series of herbivores and carnivores, lemmings and weasels correspond to each other.

The individual of the weasel is very small, only 40 cm long, including the tail. Males are bigger and weigh only about 400 grams. The legs are short and flexible, and the body is small and soft. As long as the head can get through, the body will be unimpeded. Every spring, before a large number of migratory birds came to the North Pole, the first litter of lemmings provided the weasel with essential rations, which laid a solid foundation for the weasel to reproduce. ?

In addition, because the weasel is docile, it is also loved by many pet lovers.
