Irish Stoat/Free Spirit

Irish Stoat ( Éasóg ) --: The stoat is the smallest of our flesh eating mammals and is wrongly called a weasel. There are no weasels in Ireland. It was not until the eighteenth century that it was discovered that what was thought to be a weasel was really a stoat, but most Irish people still call our stoat a weasel. Unlike stoats from colder areas the Irish stoat rarely changes to a white winter coat. In colder countries the stoat will change to a complete white (except for the tip of its tail) so he will not be seen easily in the snow. The winter white coat is known as ermine and is expensive, as it is used to make fur coats for some women.It is also used to put around kings capes. :)
