The smallest of all mustelids, least weasels (Mustela nivalis) are found throughout the Northern hemisphere in most circumboreal habitats including boreal forest and tundra. In the northern reaches of its range and at high altitudes, their coat color changes in winter from a tawny brown to pure white. This fierce little creature has a stronger bite force than lions, tigers, and even bears when compared to its body size!
