Neogale frenata, also known as the “Bridled Weasel”, “Masked Ermine” or “Big Stoat” can be found anywhere in the Americas where there are burrowing rodents to be hunted. Like their cousins in the Mustelidae family; badgers, otters and wolverines, they are formidable predators whose long, lean and lithe bodies allow them to access the tunnels and burrows of tasty fossorial creatures. Their diets are not limited to burrowing rodents, they’ve been known to catch and eat birds and their eggs, reptiles, amphibians, fish, earthworms and insects.
