“The stoat normally blends into its white, snowy environment, where it hunts lemmings and mice and is very difficult to spot. However, when winter arrives late, or hot weather melts the snow, its snow camouflage turns into a white signal flag. This makes it vulnerable to birds of prey like eagles and falcons.” 📸 + caption by Bernt Østhus (berntosthus) . . . . #potd #stoat #ForolhognaNationalPark #Norway #cute #snow #winteriscoming
