Stoats Playing in the Snow

During a trip to the wood pile today we heard some scuffling amongst the logs and hurried to take a closer look. It was the stoats! A big one and a smaller one, and they were having a blast in the snow.

It was a little dark for taking pictures, and the little buggers are so fast! But Oliver was able to take some cool photos of them fighting. Here are some of his:

Teeth!

They are so vicious, but were really just playing

Here the big one is actually dangling the other by his face!

I think I've said it before that these little creatures are my favorite things about Alaska, but just in case, I'll say it again. I love the stoats!!!!
