The Mojo Ermine figure is a finely detailed representation of this small, agile predator, also known as the stoat or short-tailed weasel. This figure captures the sleek and elegant form of the ermine, showcasing its lithe body and characteristic features with remarkable precision.
The ermine is depicted in a poised and alert stance, as if ready to spring into action, with its head slightly raised and its tail extended behind. The coat is painted in a pristine white color, representing the ermine's winter fur, which provides camouflage in snowy environments.
The figure also highlights the distinctive black tip on the tail, a key feature of the ermine.
The Mojo Ermine Figure measures 3.25" long by 1.3" tall.
The ermine, also known as the stoat or short-tailed weasel, is a small carnivorous mammal found across North America, Europe, and Asia. It belongs to the Mustelidae family, which includes other weasels, ferrets, and otters. The ermine is particularly notable for its seasonal coat changes, a remarkable adaptation that allows it to blend seamlessly into its environment throughout the year.
During the summer months, the ermine's fur is a reddish-brown color on the back with a white or cream-colored underside. This coloration helps it blend into the forest floor and grasslands where it hunts. As winter approaches, the ermine undergoes a dramatic transformation, shedding its summer coat for a dense, white winter coat. This change provides excellent camouflage against the snow, protecting the ermine from predators and aiding in its hunting efforts. The only part of the ermine that remains consistently colored throughout the year is the distinctive black tip of its tail, which serves as a key identifying feature.
