It is important to know the difference between a weasel and a marten...or a marmot... Man with dead weasel accused of assault Wed Jun 8, 3:25 pm ET HOQUIAM, Wash. – Police say a man was carrying a dead weasel when he burst into an apartment and assaulted a man in Washington state. The victim asked, "Why are you carrying a weasel?" Police said the attacker answered, "It's not a weasel, it's a marten," then punched him in the nose and fled. The attacker was apparently looking for his girlfriend and had gone to her former boyfriend's apartment Monday where the victim was a guest. KXRO reports he left the carcass behind. Police later found the 33-year-old Hoquiam man arguing with his girlfriend at another location and arrested him after a fight. He said he had found the marten dead near Hoquiam, but police don't know why he carried it with him. A marten is a member of the weasel family. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110608/ap_on_fe_st/us_dead_weasel_assault
What about the difference between a weasel and a stoat. A weasel is weasily wecognised, whereas a stoat is stoatally different. Sorry, I'll get my coat.:ban:
Funnily enough, walking home today I saw a lad taking his ferret for a walk. I haven't seen that since I left Yorkshire! (and that's not even a joke...)
