Also might be a stoat, but hard to tell without seeing the tail. Actually good to have around, unless you have chickens. They won't bother anything and they control mice and rats. Very cool creatures.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Pretty animal! Must groom itself often.

My first thought was someones ferret mated with something close and this was the result. Second thought was a weasal. however , I would not bet even a penny that either guess is correct.
