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.

Weasels' diets usually consist of rats, mice, voles and rabbits. Frogs, birds and bird eggs are also on the menu, from time to time. Their small, thin bodies allow them to squeeze into tight spots to reach small prey. Females typically have one or two litters per year. They give birth to litters of up to 15 offspring, called kits, according to ADW. Gestation lasts about a month. However, the number of kits, the length of the gestation period, weaning age and sexual maturity varies with the species. For example, long-tailed weasels mate in mid-summer, but implantation is delayed and the egg does not begin to develop until March, making the gestation period about 280 days, according to ADW. Some species of weasel live up to 10 years, though many live three to five years.
