| We also got a bottle of Mustela baby skin freshener as a gift, and while I doubt I'd spring for this stuff myself, it does smell quite nice. |
|
| Predators such as weasels, Mustela nivalis, can detect female deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus, that are in reproductive condition, probably using their odor. |
|
| To minimize the risk of predation, which was mainly by stoats, Mustela erminea, and polecats, Mustela putorius, nest visits were kept to a minimum. |
|
| The genus Mustela includes the least weasels, polecats, stoats, ferrets, and minks. |
|
| The earliest true polecat was Mustela stromeri, which appeared during the late Villafranchian period. |
