Other names are Yamaitachi (Mountain Weasel), Ezoitachi (Ezo Weasel), and Kudagitsune (Pipe Fox). They live in north-central Europe, including the United Kingdom, north-central Asia, North America, and the Tohoku and Chubu regions of Honshu (Japan). Introduced stoats also live in New Zealand. In 2015, it was evaluated as an endangered species by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) [1]. They have a violent temperament, and in addition to eating voles, they may also prey on hares and grouse, which are larger than themselves. They live alone, nesting in crevices between rocks and tree roots, and sometimes take over mouse burrows and make them their own. Like other members of the mustelid family, stoats are known to experience a phenomenon called delayed implantation. After mating, the fertilized egg remains in development for a long period of time, and only implants in the uterine wall in warmer weather, when pregnancy and childbirth are suitable. The gestation period is about one month. They are extremely agile and are good at climbing trees and swimming.
