Ermine ndi nyama yokongola komanso yosalala, woimira banja la weasel. Amuna akuluakulu amatha kutalika kwa masentimita 38, ndipo kutalika kwa mchira ndi pafupifupi masentimita 12. Miyendo ya ermine ndi yaifupi, khosi ndi lalitali, ndipo mphuno ili ndi mawonekedwe amtundu wachinayi ndi makutu ang'onoang'ono ozungulira. Amuna achikulire a ermine amalemera magalamu 260. Mtundu wa ermine umadalira nyengo. M'nyengo yotentha, utoto wake umakhala wofiirira, ndipo m'mimba mwake mumakhala zoyera kapena zachikasu pang'ono. M'nyengo yozizira, ma ermines amakhala oyera. Kuphatikiza apo, utoto uwu umakhala wamba kumadera omwe chipale chofewa chimakhala masiku osachepera makumi anayi pachaka. Kokha nsonga ya mchira wa ermine siimasintha mtundu wake - imakhala yakuda nthawi zonse. Akazi a ermine ndi theka kukula kwa amuna.
Pakadali pano, asayansi amasiyanitsa magawo makumi awiri mphambu asanu ndi limodzi amtundu wa nyamayi, kutengera mtundu wa ubweya m'nyengo yozizira ndi chilimwe, kukula kwa munthu wamkulu.
Chikhalidwe
Stoat imafalikira konsekonse ku kontinenti ya Eurasia (m'malo otentha, kozizira komanso apansi). Nthawi zambiri zimapezeka m'maiko aku Scandinavia, mapiri a Pyrenees, ndi Alps. Ermine imapezeka ku Afghanistan, Mongolia. Mtunduwu umafalikira kumpoto chakum'mawa kwa China ndi madera akumpoto a Japan.

Dinani kuti mukulitse mapu
Ku New Zealand, idatumizidwa kuti ichepetse kuchuluka kwa akalulu, koma kubereka kosalamulirika kumapangitsa kuti tizilombo toyambitsa matenda tizilombo toyambitsa matenda.
Zomwe zimadya
Chakudya chachikulu chimaphatikizapo makoswe omwe samapitilira ermine kukula (lemmings, chipmunks, makoswe amadzi, mapikas, hamsters). Mbava imagwira nyama m'mayenje, ndipo m'nyengo yozizira pansi pa chipale chofewa.
Wamkulu amalephera mosavuta kusaka akalulu, omwe amakhala okulirapo kangapo komanso olemera kuposa iwo. Ermine imaphatikizaponso mbalame zazikulu, monga ma hazel grouse, ma grouse amitengo ndi magawo. Zakudya ndi mazira awo zimadyedwa. Nyamayo imasaka nsomba ndi maso ake, ndi tizilombo komanso abuluzi mothandizidwa ndi kumva kwake.
Ngati palibe chakudya chokwanira, ndiye kuti ermine silinganyoze zinyalala, komanso mosavutikira zimabera anthu nkhokwe ndi nyama zomwe zakonzedwa m'nyengo yozizira. Koma kuchuluka kwa chakudya kumakakamiza ermine kusaka nkhokwe zomwe sangathe kuzipukusa.
Adani achilengedwe
Ngakhale kuti ermine ndi ya dongosolo la nyama zodya nyama, nyamazi zimakhala ndi adani ambiri achilengedwe. Izi ndi nkhandwe zofiira ndi zotuwa, American badger, martens ndi ilk (fisher marten). Mbalame zodya nyama zimawopsezanso malowa.
Nkhandwe ndi mdani wachilengedwe wa ermine
Komanso, adani a ermine ndi amphaka oweta. Nyama zambiri zimafa ndi majeremusi - ma annelids, omwe amanyamulidwa ndi ma shrew.
Zosangalatsa
- Chithunzi cha ermine chitha kupezeka m'minyumba yakale ku France, mwachitsanzo ku Blois. Komanso, ermine inali chizindikiro cha Anne waku Breton, mwana wamkazi wa Claude waku France.
