I've
always
wondered,
after
finding
out
that
Misao
was
the
weasel
girl...
what
IS
a
weasel
and
what
does
it
look
like....
so
finally
I
saw
the
first
weasel
of
my
life...
it's
so
kawaii!
It's
adorable
and
cuddly...
I
want
a
pet
weasel!
If
you
hate
animals
and
if
your
back
lawn
is
full
of
weasels,
I
suggest
you
don't
see
this
page....
it's
for
silly
curious
folk
like
me!
THE
NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN-ANY-WHERE
JULES
VERNE'S
THEORY
OF
WHY
IS
A
WEASEL
IS
POPULAR
IN
JAPAN
BECAUSE
OF
A
PARTICULAR
NINJA....
What
the
heck
is
it?
Weasel
is
a
common
name
for
several
small,
fur
bearing,
carnivorous
mammals
that
are
most
abundant
in
North
America,
Europe
but
also
South
America,
Northern
Africa
and
Asia.
(And
as
we
know,
one
variety
also
lives
in
Japan...)
Why
a
weasel
reminds
me
of
Misao...
The
various
species
of
weasel
are
similar
in
appearance
and
habits.
(the
Oni
gang?!!)
They
are
lithe,
slender
animals
with
elongated
necks,
muscular,
snake
like
bodies,
and
short
legs.
(unless,
in
Misao's
case
lankeeeee
long
legs....)
They
vary
from
13-40
cm
in
length
and
the
male
is
almost
twice
as
big
as
the
female.
(Ever
notice
how
tall
Aoshi
is
from
Misao?!)
Their
heads
are
small,
narrowed
snouts.
(or
triangular
and
big)
Nearly
all
weasels
are
brown
above
and
white
beneath.
(See
how
original
Misao
is?
She's
done
away
with
brown
and
white
and
has
adapted
to
purple
and
pink.)
and
those
found
in
Northern
regions
turn
white
in
winter.
(Same
thing'll
happen
if
Misao
stays
out
in
winter
too
long...
of
course,
the
additional
blue
icicles
don't
count...)
In
warmer
regions
weasels
retain
they're
brown
coat
throughout
the
year.
(if
there's
some
good
tanning
lotion
around
of
course...)
The
weasel,
which
preys
on
mice,
rats,
birds,
and
rabbits
(well,
if
Misao's
lucky,
she
does
get
all
that
on
her
journey
to
find
Aoshi...
after
all,
it
IS
better
than
grubs,
right?)
is
largely
nocturnal
extremely
agile,(
^_^
)
it
attacks
animals
larger
than
itself.
(Those
thugs
she
kills
are
rather
huge,
huh?!)
Although
some
times
a
serious
threat
to
poultry
it
also
feeds
on
rodents
around
farms.
(We
can
expect
Misao
to
do
that
can't
we?....
can't
you
just
imagine
her
sneaking
off
from
a
farm
holding
a
couple
of
dead
chickens
under
her
arm
at
night,
doing
her
usual
sneaky
laugh?)
When
young,
the
weasel
can
be
tamed.
(That's
what
poor
Okina
tried
to
do!
^_^)
The
female
makes
a
nest
of
straw,
leaves
and
moss
in
a
ground
crevice
or
a
hollow
tree.
(ummm....is
a
dojo
made
like
that?...)
A
litter
has
two
to
twelve
babies!
(O_O)
Among
the
best
known
species
include
the
stoat
and
the
long
tailed
weasel.
Close
relatives
are
ferrets,
pole
cats
and
the
mink.
(the
thing
that
Betty
and
Wilma
from
the
Flintstones
always
wanted....
a
mink
coat!)
And
besides,
a
weasel
is
cute,
with
big
eyes,
lots
of
hair
and
is
just
dandy!
So
I
guess
Saitou
is
a
pretty
right
when
he
calls
Misao
a
weasel
'cause
she
seems
more
weasley
to
me
than
anything
else!
:::::::
Had
enough
of
the
craziness?
Don't
worry...
it's
not
contagious...
at
least
I
think
it
isn't...
