mink vs. ermine

Yes those little st weasels are certainly opportunistic. The menu can change when hunger strikes.
Is it just the white pelt that is refereed to as ermine or the actual animal?

I believe the terms are used interchangeably but, generally, "ermine" refers to the white, winter color phase.

The least weasel is the smallest and you don't want it in your chicken coop (any of the others for that matter including all members of the stinky family).
