Baby Weasel Playtime | Weasels: Feisty & Fearless | BBC Earth


orphaned weasel twizz is now five weeks
old
her eyes have opened her hearing is
becoming more acute and she’s much more
active
in the wild twiz would be playing with
the rest of her litter so rob has to
take over this role
play is how a weasel would learn how to
fight and to hunt
they use all four limbs to grip the prey
items deliver a real powerful bite then
to the back of the neck but
very gently at this stage she’s only
small still
so it’s fabulous to see that she’s got
this instinct dinner already
the little chitter in this is like a
contact call i’ve heard this in the wild
with wild weasels lots of times and it’s
to me it’s one of the most beautiful
sounds that actually is
twizz must start strengthening her
muscles to improve her agility
and this needs to be done indoors
we’re going to test her strength agility
in a safe environment
rob wants to see if twiz is brave enough
to explore but also cautious enough to
hide from any danger
gotta be always close to cover because
they’re vulnerable from attack from
other predators she’s heading for cover
when she’s really unsure which is a
great sign because she needs to be
absolutely on the ball when she’s out in
the wild
[Music]
at this age wild weasel kids would go on
day trips with their mum who would show
them how to hunt prey
rob’s got just the thing to help twist
it’ll be an easy target
in a matter of weeks they’ll actually be
independent and hunting for themselves
weasels eat anything from birds to voles
so they need to climb and tunnel
she’s just coming back for a little bit
of reassurance that’s what we’ll be
doing in the wild going back to the
mother and then she’ll go off again
adventuring
she’s showing great signs
yeah it’s great to see
[Music]
