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.

As nocturnal animals, weasels sleep during the day and are active at night. Most of a weasel's time awake consists of hunting, storing excess food and eating. Their bodies don't store fat, so they need a constant supply of food to provide enough energy. In fact, the least weasel eats 40 to 60 percent of its body weight every day, according to the Nature Conservancy. Though weasels can dig their own burrows quite quickly, they sometimes take over other animals' burrows and make them their own. They have even been known to take over termite hills.
