Weasel Watch

Is that a ferret? No, that’s a California Long Tailed Weasel. It seems CA is getting a larger and larger population of these little guys.  Rescue is getting more and more calls for them. 

Would you know one if you saw one? They look a bit like a ferret. But they are longer, leaner, and more muscular than our guys.  Sort of like an athlete vs. a coach potato.

If one waltzed into your life would you know what to do? The best thing to do would be to try and catch it in a cat carrier or confine it to a box and relocate it to a nearby field. Be careful. Remember, this is a wild animal. Use your best judgment. Or call your local animal control for assistance.
