Speaking of the famous name of the weasel, no one knows it. Not only is it claimed to be among the immortal class, but it is also said that it is best at pretending to be ghosts and demagogues. It also talks so well that even heroes will be blinded by the smoke. It is really amazing! Gee, how can its fart be so smelly? The weasel, originally named yellow weasel, is a mammal carnivorous weasel. It is brownish-yellow or orange-yellow, slender, about 30 centimeters long, and round ears and small head. It looks both smart and cute. They are widely distributed, almost all over China, and their living environments are also very diverse. They can be found in river valleys, forest lands, ditches, slopes, shrubs, wooden piles, abandoned houses, etc. Nowadays, many yellow weasels are even following people into the city, and many times they may "lurk" around us. However, weasels are nocturnal animals and their nests are very secret, so it is difficult for us to encounter these elves. In the past, before urbanization, people traveling at night would often encounter weasels on the road and be scared by it and its bright small eyes. Whenever they came and went, the weasel became known as a trick.
The weasel is fierce and quick-witted. It is claimed to love stealing chickens. There is also an idiom "The weasel pays New Year greetings to the chickens" to describe uneasiness and kindness. Although the weasels certainly don't intend to do anything good when they go to the chicken coop, they do rarely go, and catching chickens is really not their specialty. In fact, it prefers mouse-catching. In places where weasels are large and activities are frequent, rat harm will be suppressed. It is estimated that a weasel can catch 300 to 400 mice a year. In addition, weasels also eat rabbits, fish, and birds. They only want chickens when they are very hungry.
Although weasels are fierce, they are unfortunately not big enough. Sometimes they are preyed on by large animals that they cannot afford to offend. For example, wolves and foxes specifically find trouble with them. In order to better protect yourself, in addition to digging holes frequently, digging holes deeply, and building mazes, that oddly smelly fart is also the last magic weapon for self-defense. Especially when encountering natural enemies with a keen sense of smell, it is a very effective smokescreen. Although the opponent will not be smothered by the stench, he will definitely escape (it has been tried and tested). The weasel's smelly fart is produced by the smelly glands on both sides of the anus and is sprayed out of the anus. The smell of smelly fart is like a strong rotten egg, and its components are mainly some sulfur-containing compounds. In fact, not only weasels, but many weasels have this ability. Although it is not glorious, it is indeed quite effective!
