WEASELFACTS
A
male weasel is known as a dog, a buck, a Jack, or a hob.
We are lucky
enough to have all four. Joel is clearly a dog, Bob is somewhat
of a Jack (ass), and Jeremy is a bit of a hob (look it up -- it
means sprite, elf, or troublemaker). That leaves Chris, the
strapping young buck.
A
female weasel is actually known as a Jane, a doe, or a bitch.
Look for the
band after the show as they try to pick up some bitches.
In
the wild, less than 2% of weasels survive to be over two years
old.
Comfortably
in captivity, these Weasels are all in their twenties.
Weasels
are most common where small rodents are abundant.
That
certainly does NOT mean that small rodents are abundant wherever
you find weasels.
Adult
weasels will be anywhere from five to sixteen inches in length.
The band is
no exception. Sure that's a wide range, but we all know that it's
girth that matters. Regardless, very few things are as
frightening as coming face to face with a sixteen inch weasel.
The
correct term for a group of weasels is, in fact,
"gang."
Despite what
you may think, it is not, "band." Or even, "bad
band."
Weasels
will usually make their dens in the nests of former prey.
Sometimes,
however, the weasel will wake up in the morning and notice that
his prey is just laying there smiling at him. When this happens,
he will run out of there as fast as he can.
Female weasels are ready to mate at
a very young age.
But that
doesn't make it legal.
