A reader asks about the common weasel. The nocturnal predator weighs half to one pound, 12 to 14 inches, and can kill animals several times its weight. It denes under buildings, sheds, or brush piles and has 3-4 kits born in late May. Color changes with seasons from brown to gray or black, and to white with a black tail tip by mid-December, called Ermine in fur trade. Also notes Henry St. Ores recovering after surgery, and the birth of a son to Clarence and Vada Weimer, named Stanley Earl.
