Description:
The Siberian weasel possesses many other names, including Kolinsky, from which Kolinsky sable paintbrushes (one of the most superior sable paintbrushes in the world) are named. They have a sumptuous creamy-peach colouring, that is quite distinct. They are found throughout East Asia (with some feral in sections of Japan), living in tundra, mountains and forested regions. They are efficient, opportunistic predators and primarily eat rodents, birds, lizards and eggs, though they will also take plant products like pine nuts and fruits. Instead of being ambush predators, they tend to pursue their quarry speedily and with great fervour. Their primary predators are large owls and birds of prey.
