Least Weasel

small predator · weasel family · Northern Hemisphere

Tiny but mighty. The least weasel is the smallest member of the entire weasel family, so small it can slip through spaces you'd never expect a predator to fit through.

Found almost everywhere. These little hunters live naturally across Europe, Asia, and North America, and humans have brought them to islands like New Zealand and Malta.

Lots of them around. The least weasel population is huge and spread across many places, so scientists say it's not in any danger of disappearing.

Eighteen different types. Scientists have identified eighteen different subspecies of least weasels, each adapted to its own region.
