Ermine... we have tons of them up here... wicked little hunters that turn white in the winter...

Just for the sake of randomness...I think it looks like a walrus..

ahhh Carrie that thing looks as nasty as my gross dead visitor! Glad you found it dead

I agree...ermine/stoat. They are all related to the weasel/ferret family. Look at this pic of one carrying off a huge rabbit! http://scienceblogs.com/strangerfruit/2008/08/poem_the_stoat.php

Extra treats for the kitties tonight!

why do the things that cause so much harm have to be so darn cute? I think that they are adorable but not near my animals lol

I suppose it could be a walrus, or armadillo, as I've never seen them in person before either, but somehow, I've always pictured them as, well, bigger!

Nat, your's won the scary contest, I remember the teeth on that sucker!
