The term 'weasel-like animal' can refer to three different animals: FERRET, SABLE, and stonemarten. The FERRET is a domesticated mammal of the Mustelidae family, which also includes weasels, otters, and badgers. It is about the size of a large domestic cat and has a long, slender body with a tail that is almost as long as its body. The SABLE is a species of marten, a small carnivorous mammal of the Mustelidae family. It is found in forested areas of Russia, China, and Japan and is known for its luxurious fur. The stonemarten is a species of marten found in mountainous regions of Europe and Asia. It is similar in size to the SABLE but has a more robust body and a shorter tail. All three animals are members of the Mustelidae family and share many characteristics, including their weasel-like appearance.
