      He isn't really a murderer; he or she is killing to feed the family, or protecting his family from imminent harm. Some of our species (Mankind; homosapiens) are murders, but not animals. They kill in defense of their young or to put food on the table. Murder and kill are two very different acts. I opine, share an opinion. Whichever. I do agree he's snappy looking lol turned my head 😅 👋🥸

      J C,
      Thanks J C for bringing back memories from 19 hundred and 80. I was stationed at Boardman Bombing Range, Oregon, and the majority of us bachelors lived up the road at Umatilla Army Depot, three to a house. One guy that lived next to me went in to the pet store in Hermiston and bought a adult ( and half wild ) ferret. Even though he had a bowl of food and water he still perferred to hunt mice. He cleared the house of mice within a day ( and night ! ) and i'm sure some cleared out on their own. His teeth were needle sharp and he was just a ball of unbridled energy. He chewed a multitude of holes into the baseboard of the walls in able to get to the mice ( mind you, this was in U.S Gov't housing ). Baseboards looked like Swiss cheese. The guy thought he was a cute pet ( the guy had paid $50 for him, serious money at the time ) while everyone that had been nipped and bloodied thought otherwise. Till one morning the owner gets out of bed and stumbles in to the kitchen barefooted. That rodent shot out from his hiding place and sunk his needle sharp fangs into a nice juicy heel and hung on for dear life. The guy ran, flopped, and rolled around screaming all the while until he was able to rip the ferret off and managed to yank the door open and fling him just as far as he could. Fifty bucks down the drain ! The following night a guy that lived a door or two down was tent camping in his back yard w/his two daughters. Sometime during the night that ferret attacked them and they fled inside. That was the last we heard of that cute/fuzzy/loveable wild and un-socialized terror machine. Thanks for the recall of good times ...

    Stout is a dark, top-fermented beer with a number of variations, including dry stout, oatmeal stout, milk stout, and imperial stout. The first known use of the word stout for beer was in a document dated 1677 found in the Egerton Manuscripts, the sense being that a "stout beer" was a strong beer, not a dark beer. never known to attack small rodents..

    The Stoat (Mustela erminea) is a small mammal of the family Mustelidae which also includes other weasels, mink, otters, ferret, badgers, polecats, the wolverine, martens, the tayra, the fisher and skunks. The Stoat is also known as the Short-tailed weasel and the Ermine.

      Mustelidae is restricted to only the weasels, ferrets, and minks and no longer includes the skunks, stink badgers, otters, zorillas, muishund, shulang, huro, grisons, wolverine, tayra, martens, and fisher which are now relocated to the families Mephitidae, Melidae, Lutridae, and Ictonychidae respectively, while the latter three are grouped with Mustelidae into the superfamily Musteloidea, Mephitidae evolved independently and belongs to a whole different superfamily, which is the superfamily Procyonoidea, meaning skunks and stink badgers are actually more closely related to the raccoons, ringtail, cacomistle, coatis, olingos, olinguito, kinkajou, and red panda than they are to the weasels, ferrets, minks, badgers, otters, zorillas, muishund, shulang, huro, grisons, wolverine, tayra, martens, and fisher.

      Stoats are weasels, a weasel is any species of the genera Leucictis, Neogale, Ailurogale, Aciogale, Flavogale, Flavictis, Sciurogale, and Mustela, the latter genus containing the stoat, stoats are counted as weasels because the Stoat (Mustela Erminea) is the type species of the genus Mustela, weasels are a paraphyletic (informal) group because the species most often not considered weasels are ferrets (genera Neoputorius and Putorius) and minks (genera Neovison and Mesovison), in fact ferrets and minks are both polyphyletic groups because the Black-Footed Ferret (Neoputorius Nigripes) and American Mink (Neovison Vison) are more closely related to the weasels included within the genera Leucictis and Neogale, while the European Ferret (Putorius Putorius), Steppe Ferret (Putorius Eversmannii), and European Mink (Mesovison Lutreola) are more closely related to weasels included within the genera Ailurogale, Aciogale, Flavogale, Flavictis, Sciurogale, and Mustela

      Actually, stoats are weasels, a weasel is any carnivoran belonging to the genera Leucictis, Neogale, Ailurogale, Aciogale, Flavogale, Flavictis, Sciurogale, and Mustela, stoats are weasels that are specifically in the genus Mustela, to which the stoat is the type species, weasels are a paraphyletic group because ferrets and minks are both different enough to not be counted as weasels, in fact both ferrets and minks descended from weasels making several genera of weasels more closely related to ferrets and minks than they are to other weasels, additionally, ferrets and minks are both polyphyletic groups because the Black-Footed Ferret (Neoputorius nigripes) and American Mink (Neovison vison) are more closely related to weasels that belong to the genera Leucictis and Neogale, while the European Ferret (Putorius putorius), Steppe Ferret (Putorius eversmannii), and European Mink (Mesovison lutreola) are more closely related to weasels belonging to the genera Ailurogale, Aciogale, Flavogale, Flavictis, Sciurogale, and Mustela

      Which actually is better that "war dance". War dance sounds like something that involves a tribe, a pack, a group before a coordinated attack. Like chimps, before attacking in small groups other apes. The "dance of death" sound much better when only one animal is involved, especially since there's nothing martial at all about the movements, no drum beats there. It is not intented to get all excited, the intention is to fool the prey. Sometimes it's good to start using new expressions, a language has to be flexible.
