Weasels

The genus in which weasels are found also includes ferrets, polecats, and minks. Ten of the 17 currently known species of the Mustela genus are classified as weasels. Some weasels eat both meat and plants, however, most are strict carnivores.

Weasels are able to penetrate their prey's burrows thanks to their slim bodies. These animals, despite being little, are skilled hunters who pursue mice, voles, rats, and rabbits. They occasionally also eat small birds, frogs, and their eggs.

Weasels hardly ever come across turtles in the wild, which is unfortunate. But when they come face to face, they can deal these shelled creatures a lot of serious damage. Although they are unable to break their shell, they can chew on body portions like their head or limbs that are exposed. Weasels also threaten turtle eggs, so turtles are not entirely protected.
