The Siberian Weasel (Mustela sibirica, Kolonok) from ZOO Chomutov, the Czech Republic.

DID YOU KNOW THAT... its fur is its curse? Because it makes the finest water colour or oil paint brushes and it is especially sought after by artists. :nod:

Don't use the fur as a paint brush, dip the entire Weasel in the paint, let it loose on a canvas and sell the resulting "art" for crazy profit.
