DSC_9523 Weasel (Mustela nivalis vulgaris) male with brown kiwi chick. The weasel is the smallest member of the order Carnivora. Introduced in 1885-86, this particular subspecies originated in western and central Europe. Although they have a patchy distribution in NZ, because of competition with stoats, they have wreaked havoc on our native flightless birds. Photographed for Predator Free 2050 Ltd *
