Tale of a tail

Not as cute a photo as the standing one I uploaded the other day, but at least you get to see the whole (more or less) animal this time. These Long-tailed Weasels move incredibly fast and it's a miracle to get a photo : ) He didn't move quite fast enough, though, to prevent a predator catching him by the tail at some time and pulling off the end half (?) of his lovely long tail with the black tip. You can see a straggly bit of white fur hanging from the tail stump. I hope it wasn't one of "my" owls that tried to have him for dinner! They all share the same little area.
