mustelid

Mustelids are a group of carnivorous and omnivorous mammals distinguished by their short legs and elongated bodies, though they range widely in size.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Mustelids are built low to the ground, with short legs, a long body, and a shortened skull with forward-facing eyes and elongated eyeteeth. Their paws possess five digits with nonretractible or semi-retractible claws, and in some species their forepaws are dextrous enough to manipulate basic tools.
