The lesser of two weasels
Let’s all vote for the lesser of two weasels.
Only the smallest mammalian carnivore.
It is a carnivorous rodent, dining on insects (such as grasshoppers), worms, spiders, centipedes, mantis, scorpions, snakes, and even other mice.
The southern grasshopper mouse has around a 3.5 to 5.0 inches (8.9–12.7 cm) long body
[Least weasel] Average body length in males is 130 to 260 mm (5 to 10 in), while females average 114 to 204 mm (4.5 to 8.0 in)
Well, if you want to head that way, there’s Etruscan shrew. Less than 2 grams of weight and 4 cm of length.
It’s known for taking down prey larger than itself and I think holds the record for biggest disparity of weight predator to prey.
I assumed they meant carnivora
That’s definitely not the world’s smallest carnivore, but it is a small carnivore
They probably meant carnivore mammal.
Edit: it’s the smallest species of the carnivora order. So not the “smallest carnivore”, but “smallest carnivorian”.
Right? Shit, we got single-cell carnivores in this world.
Any less weasel and BAM, got yourself a mouse.
The problem is there isn’t a Most Weasel.
I think that would be the wolverine.
The superhero or the animal? Because I’m fine with either.
you can have
… I can has?
It’s so cute!That thing is a killing machine!
A quantum of stoat.
holy shit, I didn’t think there was anything smaller than a stoat in that family
Average body length in males is 130 to 260 mm, while females average 114 to 204 mm.
Males weigh 36 to 250 g, while females weigh 29 to 117 g.
