Stocky and bear-like, this largest land-dwelling member of the weasel family is dark brown with pale stripes along the flanks, a bushy tail and big, broad paws. It lives in boreal forest and tundra in the far north of North America and Eurasia. A solitary scavenger and hunter, it travels long distances in search of carcasses. It is rarely seen, so look for tracks in snow, and hope for a fleeting glimpse.
