Are there any weird weasel/weasel adjacent lil guys? Tumblr tag searching is being rude

Yes! Marbled polecats have to be the weirdest of the noodle-y mustelids. The ear puffs, the color, the patterns, the stance, the pout, the length, they have it all!

Other polecats like the Saharan and striped are also pretty wacky skunk lookalikes. Convergent evolution!

I think Malayan weasels are the funkiest literal weasels, very interesting color scheme for a critter living in the tropics.

Japanese martins look pretty similar to the Malayans, but even more vivid. Really would like to know why this coloration evolved twice!

Another tropical guy, nilgiri marten have very bold and striking colors. You look like a bee.

Tayra are not especially weasel flavored as far as mustelids go, but they always look kinda sad and concerned. One of their names in Spanish translates to ‘old man of the mountains’ and I can see why. Has an elderly vibe.
