Gulf Coast Bird Rescue

It's rare to observe wildlife behavior that falls outside the watchful eyes of humans, but one of our hunters managed to do just that! This video appears to show a species of weasel, possibly a long-tailed weasel (Neogale frenata) or fisher cat (Pekania pennanti) rolling and rubbing its body across the top of a fallen tree. Many members of the Mustelid family, including weasels, otters, fishers, and minks, exhibit this type of behavior, which is a type of scent communication. Weasels have well-developed a**l scent glands, which produce a strong, musky odor. They also have smaller glands on their skin, along their belly, flanks, and cheeks! Individuals will rub these glands over surfaces, leaving a distinctive scent that warns would-be intruders that they have entered someone else's territory. 🎥: A. Sellards/USFWS
