The stoat is a member of the mustelid family. Forms separate species, which includes 26 subspecies.
This animal is small in size, its body is elongated, its legs are short. The habitat is quite wide. This is northern Asia, Europe, North America. It is often found in New Zealand and Greenland. It was artificially introduced on some Pacific islands. The inhabitants of that area were disturbed by rabbits, which caused serious damage to crops. To combat these rodent pests, people decided to breed voracious and nimble stoats.
However, everything turned out differently than the residents expected. The fast, toothy stoats quickly exterminated the rabbits and switched to other animals. Their prey was small rodents and birds, both wild and domestic. It turned out that the farmers protected the harvest, but did not protect the geese, ducks and chickens.
In addition, stoats have caused irreparable harm to some unique birds, such as the mallard, mohua, kokako or New Zealand starling, crooked plover, little egret and others. It is this animal that is to blame for the significant reduction in the populations of birds inhabiting New Zealand.
Appearance of an ermine
The size of an ermine depends on its habitat. Males are always and in any region 1.5-2 times larger than females. The body of the male reaches 19-40 cm in length, the female – 17-27 cm.
They have a fluffy tail, the length of which ranges from 6 to 12 cm. Average weight male – 260 grams, female – 180 grams. In winter and summer periods have different fur colors. Ermine fur in winter white, in summer the upper part of the body is light brown in color, and the lower part is pale yellow. The tip of the tail is black, regardless of the time of year.
Listen to the voice of an ermine
In summer the fur is sparse and rough, and in winter it is soft and thick. These animals molt twice a year - in spring and autumn. Spring molt long, slow, first the head sheds, then the back, and then the belly. In autumn, the animal sheds in the reverse order - from the belly, and this happens about 2 times faster. Some subspecies living in the south do not change coat color in winter. It’s just that in winter their fur becomes paler and thicker.
Stoat behavior and nutrition
An ermine is an animal with a cute face. The ermine prefers to live in the taiga, tundra and forest-steppe. Always lives near a body of water, often in thickets of bushes and undergrowth. He tries not to go into the dense taiga thicket, and does not like open area with little vegetation. Lead single image life. Each animal has its own territory, the boundaries of which it marks with feces and urine. The male's holdings are much larger in area than the females'. When it comes mating season, then the males come to the territory of the females.
The stoat is a real predator. It hunts hamsters, voles, lizards, pikas, chipmunks, birds and insects. If it finds a clutch of eggs of a bird, it eats it too. Its prey is also mice and rats, of which there are many near people's homes. Eats and. The stoat is a very daring predator - being small in size, it can attack a prey that is significantly larger than itself; it will even attack. Catches and eats fish.
Ermine - small predator. Stoats do not make burrows; they rest in natural shelters. They usually hunt at night, but sometimes during the day. They lead a sedentary lifestyle and change their place of residence only in the absence of food.
Reproduction and lifespan
The breeding season runs from April to July. The duration of pregnancy is 280 days, including the latent period. Before giving birth, the female begins to arrange a temporary shelter for herself. It is usually located in a hollow, under rocks or under a fallen tree. The den is covered with bedding made of grass and rodent hair.
A litter usually contains from 5 to 9 cubs, in some cases the offspring can include up to 18 individuals. The cubs are born very small, blind and without teeth. Top part The body is covered with fur of a dark red color, and the lower part is pink. When the offspring is a week old, the tip of the tail turns black. After 3 weeks, teeth appear, and after another week the cub is already eating solid food.
At the age of 1.5 months, stoats' eyes open. The female feeds the cubs with milk for about 12 weeks. Males become sexually mature at 10-11 months. The situation with females is different - they have puberty occurs at the age of 3 weeks, i.e. The female can become pregnant while still feeding on her mother's milk. The lifespan of an ermine is 7 years, but wildlife they usually only live to be 2-3 years old.
Enemies of the ermine
Thanks to its swiftness, agility and speed, the animal avoids predators and makes it difficult for them to catch it. The most serious enemy is man. First of all, I kill animals for their fur, which is then sold. Near farmland, the animal is killed to protect poultry from it. Today, the population size of this species has decreased significantly. The ermine is listed in the International Red Book as a species under threat of complete destruction.

Ermine is a valuable fur-bearing animal. In the past, its snow-white fur with black-tipped tails was considered a symbol of purity and purity and was used to line royal and judicial robes.
In summer, the tops are brown-brown, the bottoms are white or yellowish; in winter the color is pure white (some Caucasian animals do not turn white in the winter). It differs from weasels and solongois in all seasons by the black tip of its tail. The trail is elongated, approximately 2.5*2 cm, the length of the jump is 30-40 cm. It often abruptly changes the direction of movement, and in winter it sometimes dives under the snow.
It lives everywhere, except for some islands, the Amur Valley and Southern Primorye, in the same landscapes as the weasel. In the tundra and dry steppes it is rare and inhabits only thickets of bushes and the banks of water bodies, and in the taiga and forest-steppe it is more common than the weasel. There are especially many stoats on the Lower Ob. Extremely rare in the Caucasus. Sometimes he settles in taiga huts and populated areas, but in big cities It is found only where there are especially many rats - in landfills, vegetable warehouses.
It feeds on rodents, less often on other small animals, carrion, and berries. On occasion he follows the tracks large predators, picking up the remains of the loot. Its larger size than that of the weasel does not allow it to penetrate the burrows of small rodents, so the ermine hunts medium-sized species, primarily water rat. Active mainly in the morning and evening. Rutting in the summer, pregnancy with a latent stage - the embryo begins to develop only a few months after fertilization. Stoats have developed an amazing adaptation aimed at increasing the rate of reproduction. Newborn females, still blind and naked, already attract adult males and are often fertilized almost immediately after birth. As a result, they can bear offspring as early as next spring.
Ermine is a valuable fur-bearing animal. In the past, its snow-white fur with black-tipped tails was considered a symbol of purity and purity and was used to line royal and judicial robes. In the 17th century in England, there was a case where the accused, a furrier by profession, appealed a court decision on the grounds that the judge was wearing a robe made of fake ermine. The verdict was declared invalid. Now ermine is hunted mainly in the North, primarily in Yakutia. Unfortunately, its numbers due to various reasons decreased slightly in last decades, especially in central and southern regions. Ermine - main enemy water rat, a dangerous agricultural pest.

Appearance
The ermine is a small animal of a typical musteloid appearance with a long body on short legs, long neck and a triangular head with small rounded ears. The body length of the male is 17-38 cm (females are about half as long), the length of the tail is about 35% of the body length - 6-12 cm; body weight - from 70 to 260 g. Similar to weasel, but slightly larger in size.
The fur color is protective: in winter it is pure white, in summer it is two-colored - the upper body is brownish-red, the underside is yellowish-white. Winter color is typical for areas where there is snow for at least 40 days a year. The tip of the tail is black throughout the year. Geographical variability in the quality of winter fur, the color of summer fur and body size allows us to distinguish about 26 subspecies of ermine.
Spreading
Lives in Arctic, subarctic and temperate zones Eurasia and North America. In Europe, it is found from Scandinavia to the Pyrenees and the Alps, excluding Albania, Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey. In Asia, its range extends to the deserts of Central Asia, Iran, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Northeast China and northern Japan. IN North America found in Canada, on the islands of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, in Greenland and in the northern United States (except the Great Plains). In Russia, it is common in the European north and Siberia.
Ermine
Lifestyle
Ermine is most numerous in forest-steppe, taiga and tundra regions. Their choice of habitat is determined by the abundance of their main food - small rodents. As a rule, the ermine prefers to settle close to water: along the banks and floodplains of rivers and streams, near forest lakes, along coastal meadows, thickets of bushes and reeds. In depth forest areas rarely comes in; in forests there are old overgrown burnt areas and clearings, edges (especially near villages and arable lands); in dense forests it loves brook spruce and alder forests. Common in copses, steppe ravines and ravines. Open spaces avoids. Sometimes it settles near human habitation, in fields, gardens and forest parks, even on the outskirts of cities.
Leads a predominantly solitary, territorial lifestyle. The boundaries of the individual area are marked by the secretion of the anal glands. Plot sizes vary from 10 to 20 hectares; in males it is usually twice as large as in females, and overlaps with their areas. Males and females live separately and meet only during the mating season. In hungry and food-poor years, stoats leave their areas and move, sometimes over considerable distances. Sometimes migrations are also caused by mass reproduction of rodents in neighboring areas.
The ermine is active mainly in the twilight and night hours, sometimes found during the day. It is unpretentious in the choice of shelters, including brood ones. It can be found in the most unexpected places - for example, in haystacks, piles of stones, in the ruins of abandoned buildings or in logs piled against the wall of a residential building. It also occupies tree hollows and often hides in them during floods. The ermine often occupies the burrows and nesting chambers of the rodents it kills. The female lines her brood hole with the skins and hair of killed rodents, and less often with dry grass. The ermine does not dig holes on its own. In winter, it does not have permanent shelters and uses random shelters - under stones, tree roots, logs. It rarely returns to its roosting site.
The stoat is a good swimmer and climber, but is essentially a specialized terrestrial predator. Its diet is dominated by mouse-like rodents, but unlike its relative - the weasel, which feeds on small voles, the ermine hunts larger rodents - water voles, hamsters, chipmunks, haymakers, lemmings, etc., overtaking them in burrows and under the snow. Its size does not allow it to penetrate into the burrows of smaller rodents. Females hunt in burrows more often than males. Birds and their eggs, as well as fish and shrews, are of secondary importance in the stoat's diet. Even less often (with a lack of basic food) the ermine eats amphibians, lizards and insects. Capable of attacking animals larger than itself (wood grouse, hazel grouse, ptarmigan, hares and rabbits); in hungry years, it even eats garbage or steals people's supplies of meat and fish. When there is an abundance of food, the stoat builds up supplies, destroying more rodents than it can eat. It kills prey like a weasel - by biting through the skull in the occipital region. The ermine tracks rodents by smell, insects by sound, and fish by sight.
The ermine is a very agile and dexterous animal. His movements are fast, but somewhat fussy. When hunting, he travels up to 15 km per day, in winter - an average of 3 km. It moves through the snow in jumps up to 50 cm long, pushing off the ground with both hind legs. He swims well and easily climbs trees. Pursued by the enemy, it often sits in a tree until the danger has passed. Usually silent, but when excited it chirps loudly, can chirp, hiss and even bark.
Young stoat
The ermine is polygamous, breeding once a year. Sexual activity in males lasts 4 months, from mid-February to early June. Pregnancy in females with a long latent stage (8-9 months) - embryos do not develop until March. In total, it lasts 9-10 months, so the cubs appear in April - May of the next year. The number of cubs in litters ranges from 3 to 18, with an average of 4-9. Only the female is engaged in them.
Newborns weigh 3-4 g with a body length of 32-51 mm, are born blind, toothless, with closed ear canals and covered with sparse white hair. At 30-41 days they begin to see clearly, and at 2-3 months they are indistinguishable in size from adults. At the end of June - in July they already obtain food on their own.
Females reach sexual maturity very early, at 2-3 months, and males only at the age of 11-14 months. Young females (60-70 days old) can be productively mated by adult males - a unique case among mammals that contributes to the survival of the species. Average duration The life of an ermine is 1-2 years, the maximum is 7 years. The fertility and numbers of stoats fluctuate greatly, rising sharply in years of abundance of rodents and falling catastrophically when they become extinct.
Meaning for humans
The stoat is one of the most common predators, but its numbers have now dropped significantly due to hunting, deterioration of food resources, destruction of habitats, etc.
Ermine is a commercial object (the fur is used as a finishing fur). Useful for killing mouse-like rodents. It was unsuccessfully introduced to New Zealand to control the rabbit population; here it multiplied and turned into a pest, destroying the young and eggs of native birds, in particular, kiwi.
Ermine in symbolism and heraldry
The ermine was also a symbol of personified Touch (one of the five senses).
The ermine was the emblem ( impresa) Anne of Brittany and her daughter Claude of France - the wife of Francis I (-), therefore images of ermine can be seen in the royal palaces of France, for example, in Blois. The shield with ermines is depicted on the modern coat of arms and flag of Brittany, having been transferred to it from the banner of the Dukes of Brittany. There is a legend that one of the Dukes of Brittany, Alain Crooked beard(Alain Barbetorte), pursued by the Normans, was stopped by a flooded river, muddy and dirty. At this time, the Duke noticed an ermine running away from galloping horses and also stopped by the river. At the very water, the ermine turned sharply, preferring death to the mud. Appreciating the courage of the animal, Alain II shouted to his comrades: “ Better death What a shame!”, and the inspired Bretons turned to face the enemy.
