Cute furry thing of the day =)

Today's cute furry thing is Mustela erminea, the short tailed weasel, or stoat, or ermine. Along with having too many names, this little guy is primarily nocturnal, and in areas that get snowy, it turns white except for the black tip of its tail in the winter. They eat bugs, rodents, and amphibians, and can be up to 30 cm long from snout to tail. And it has sharp teeth meant for biting. I'd pet it if I was sure it didn't have rabies.

Aww how cute. He's eating lunch. Hehe.

Oh hells yeah, bodyguard monkey chillin on your shoulder.

Hey, the monkey could raise his hand for you in class!!!

The monkey wins, I don't think that thing could raise it's hand.

Bet it could bite off at least two fingers of whoever else decided to raise their hand though. then it'd just stare down the teacher, maybe give a "what?" nod.
