Ahh!! I like that animal. I would guess that you better leave them alone in their habitat or get some really serious bites. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Beautiful little critter...though mice probably think different. What the heck, who cares what mice think?! Great descriptive words. Good luck with contest.

I'm not familiar with these spies. Good to catch mice.

- In winter they change their fur color... they turn white... but always the black tail tuft, Victor :) - hugs

That cute dude must be extremely fast, he looks so cute and, yes, hyper-fast. Your well written words taught and reminded me about a creature I have only a vague recollection about.

It looks beautiful, but haven't seen it even in a zoo. I wonder what it does when angry. A great entry for the contest. All the best dear Anne! Hugs...

- When it's angry it sizzles ... I can see them close to where I live in nature, so fun to watch :) - They are shy but curious ... if I whistle they come forward :) - hugs
