The weasel's tail is only a third of its actual body size and its black on the end of its tail. One thing I think is really cool about the weasels is that they hunt small rodents but when they eat the rodents they also will take their home. The weasel grown ups average around 170 to 330mm long. ]]> 2020-09-30 17:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mbelyeu26/i4yfn704yj0smj20/wish/792235585 Common Animals okeyes26 https://padlet.com/mbelyeu26/i4yfn704yj0smj20/wish/793159170 There is a large variety of animals that include Javelinas, (Wild pigs), antelope, coyote, deer, Gambel's quail, kangaroo rats, ringtails, and Harris Hawks, and diamondback rattlesnakes.
