| Summary | "American Weasels" by E. Raymond Hall is a scientific publication written in the early 21st century. This comprehensive work provides an in-depth study of the genus Mustela, focusing on the variations and characteristics of American weasels, and includes an extensive exploration of their anatomy, behavior, and ecology. It sheds light on the significant role these small carnivores play within their ecosystems, as well as detailing their interaction with humans. The opening of the book establishes a detailed framework of the weasel's structural features and behaviors, primarily emphasizing the agility and hunting prowess of the long-tailed weasel ("Mustela frenata"). Hall describes the physical characteristics and seasonal coloration changes of weasels, such as their brown summer and white winter pelage, which aid in their survival. He introduces the idea of how environmental factors, geographic distribution, and behavior influence their adaptations, while also hinting at the biological and ecological significance of studying their variances and interactions in their natural habitats.
