WEASELS
:
Weasel, is the common name for any of several small, mammal carnavoires found mainly in North America and Europe but, in South America, northern Africa, and Asia.
Varying from 13 to 40 cm (5 to 16 in) in length, these short legged animals have long, snake-like bodies and triangular noses and snouts. The males are larger than the female.
Their prey includes mice, rats, birds, and rabbits, and they have no fear of attacking animals larger than themselves. Apparently, very young weasels are quite trainable. ^^
Scientific classification: Weasels belong to the family Mustelidae and make up the genus Mustela. The ermine is classified as Mustela erminea, the longtail weasel as Mustela frenata, the mink as Mustela vison, and the black-footed ferret as Mustela nigripes.
Okay, so maybe Misao is a little like a weasel. ^^; What got me laughing was the "they have no fear of attacking animals larger than themselves." Maybe that was just me though. But really, Misao almost does seem fearless, and like a young weasel, she was very trainable. *nods*
