Long-tailed weasels in the Southwest and California have masks. The ones around here do not.

The ones I’ve seen here in MD are considerably darker than this as well.
Oh, sweet! You helped clear something up for me. Several years ago I was walking in a park in SoCal when I saw this little animal looking at me from a hole in the ground. It was a masked weasel…Since I didn’t know we had any masked weasels, I thought ‘WTF, a black-footed ferret?!’ I emailed the fish and wildlife dept. asking them what the heck it was that I saw and they never got back to me. Now my curiosity is finally satisfied.^^
THAT IS COOL I have never seen one of these before mind you I live in australia so I come on your blog to see all the cute things I wish I was surrounded by.
