Weasels’ Habitat
Weasels are capable of digging their own burrows but they take over the burrows of their prey and make them their own. They are also known to take over termite hills. Weasels also live in sand dunes, grasslands, upland moors, lowland forests and they can even be found in towns. Their nests are made of grass and holes and they are found in holes in walls as well as on tree stumps. Basically, weasels stay anywhere where there is suitable food.
The Behavior of a Weasel
Weasels are good climbers, that is how they manage to capture young birds as well as the eggs from the bird’s nests. They also hunt for rats, mice and field voles in their own burrows; weasels are small enough to enter rat burrows. They consume 60 percent of their own weight daily. They also hunt at dusk and at dawn. They are solitary animals, with each weasel occupying at least 4 hectares of land alone.
