Going Ermine: How Stoats Turn White For Winter | Discover Wildlife | Robert E Fuller

What a gift to be able to see this process and capture it on video. Thank you for sharing this gift with us.

That was really special.

This videos deserves a million views!

So lethal and yet so cute

Just awesome thank you so much! It’s so hard to get anything about Ferrets orders or stoats! Over a period of around 24 years I had many of my own precious Ferrets I Miss them Sooo Much every day of my life ❣️ this brought tears to my eyes and love in my heart thank you again ❣️🙏🏼🕊🕊🕊🇦🇺

I do loved Stoats, but I wished they would lived longer. My favorite of Stoat which lived in our backed field has died and none of others haved moved in to there. I miss seeing him whened I walk backed there alonged the creek.

I love watching the stats turning white how cool... keep doing what your doing its beautiful!!!

awww my baby is named Bandit because of his mask also, he a cutie chunky ferret baby!💙 Adorable Bandita!!😍we miss you!! but awesome to see those youngins!!!

I would also add it seems like perfect camouflage for the animal. The coat is roughly a similar percentage white as is the surrounding environment.
As said many times, triggered by temperature, which is a great way to make sure the coat is always the right mix of brown and white to stay well camoflagued. A good example of biology, through survival of the fittest (the most easily able to camouflage themselves survive the predators).

Well that is my opinion on it all.

Wow, how did you do that transition t 1.36? Nice and impressive documentary too

Que lindo 👍

That is so fascinating what a unique thing that nature does for animals to camouflage them and turn completely a different color it's amazing to see a land animal do this so beautiful too I just love watching them their bodies are so flexible and what a cute face

Have one living in my garage and hope it's female and stays I try not to scare her away I'd wish I could tell her she has not to fear me and she is more then welcome

She is gorgious

So Sade she disappeared hope mine sticks around it only me who goes out to garage I'll do best to not scare her

Me and my family have been wanting to know what this was for so so long thank you so much

I saw my first ermine yesterday. I live in SW Germany. It shot up a tree and with my bins I then saw its head very clearly. It was pure white. It yawned and disappeared.

These creatures love killing chickens

So all those royal ermine furs we see in period movies are just these little stouts in winter coat?

How can you found time 4 ur painting with all the walks & huge amounts of work u have oufff 🏆👌🏻💯☮

Thank you ❤

Oh she's beautiful!

so damn cool

Banddita was a special little stoat!!

Bandita still kicking or has the torch been passed to a new generation?

Bandita is a Hindu name which means to worship, praise etc. like towards deities, gods and so on. Beautiful name she got.

I love how alert they are when they look around. Lol so cute

Where did she go?

This was such an awesome video!!!! liked and subscribed!

I find this so very fascinating! Thank you, Robert, for sharing. 💖

That's why these animals have got better situational awareness than most humans

❤Beautiful, seeing their fuhr changing in white. They are funny too, see playing. Magnificent VIDEO. THANK YOU Mr Fulle🌹🌿.

Truly made me go Awww 🥰

I cannot tell a lie, but the first time I ever found out about these creatures and their change and fur color during seasons, was through the wild Thornberrys. Not gonna lie, but as much as it was fun, action family cartoon on Nickelodeon. It did have some educational moments. The episode where Eliza Thornberry is trying to help a hare seek shelter from a stoat.

I had never heard of stoats. They are beautiful.

Great video! Enjoyed it immensely

Thank you for doing this.

She's so beautiful. We just found a snow white short tailed ermine in our house last week! She was mouse hunting and so we let her be. We live in a very large older home and we get mice. It's Alaska. Unfortunately with the beauty, you get the mice. She's definitely been the one keeping their numbers low and we appreciate her for that lol. She hunts the mice and takes them to her den in the back yard. She's do beautiful too. It takes everything in me not to want to make her a pet 😆😆 Of course she won't do her job as well if I did

I love this channel

Dearest Robert, my days fill with joy every time I watch your videos. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful insight of animal life. Many blessings from Mexico.

I love this type of video! A non-invasive, harmless documentation of nature’s greatest
