Dunno wut he's on about. But, all I ran into was this. >A mix of cute and not cute facts from Wikipedia: >Reproduction and development >Stoats are not monogamous, with litters often being of mixed paternity. >Adult female stoats spend almost all their lives either pregnant or in heat. >Females can reabsorb embryos and in the event of a severe winter they may reabsorb their entire litter. >Males play no part in rearing the young, which are born blind, deaf, toothless and covered in fine white or pinkish down. >Prior to the age of five to seven weeks, kits huddle for warmth when the mother is absent. >Territorial and sheltering behavior >The skins and underfur of rodent prey are used to line the nest chamber. >Males and females typically live apart, but close to each other. >A single den has several galleries, mainly within 30 cm (12 in) of the surface. >The stoat typically eats about 50 g (1.8 oz) of food a day, which is equivalent to 25% of the animal's live weight. >Because of their larger size, male stoats are less successful than females in pursuing rodents far into tunnels. >Stoats regularly climb trees to gain access to birds' nests. >The stoat reputedly mesmerises prey such as rabbits by a "dance" (sometimes called the weasel war dance), though this behaviour could be linked to Skrjabingylus infections.
