Meet The World's Cutest Wild Snow-White Weasel

Chris Cooper was in the Michigan woods when he caught a glimpse of this shy white weasel peeking out of a hollow tree to say hello.

The weasel is a species of mustelid distributed from southern Canada throughout all the United States and Mexico, southward through all of Central America and into northern South America. The long-tailed weasel is the product of a process begun 5–7 million years ago, when northern forests were replaced by open grassland, thus prompting an explosive evolution of small, burrowing rodents.
