First photo is a dorsal view. Second photo is a ventral view featuring vomerine and maxillary teeth in upper jaw. The front part of the lower jaw is obliterated and the remaining lower jaw bones are the ones sticking out to the side like arms. Fairly large.
This critter came slinking TOWARDS me on the trail; three times coming closer, dropping the dead mouse in the path, then finally coming back to grab the prey and take it into the blackberry bushes. It almost seemed like a reluctant offering to me! I got video because the weasel was in a pattern of dropping the mouse and returning! And...just last night, I made a weasel hat as a costume piece to help kids learn about bird language. I was musing about this hat a moment before this funny little one showed up coming directly at me. Whoa.
