This is a Stoat, but adorable nonetheless.

[–]othankevan 21 points22 points ago

Stoatally.

:lets self out:

[–]fialk 7 points8 points ago

Stoats McGoats

[–]Timmeur 8 points9 points ago

Pretty sure that's another animal's blood on its nose.

[–]Makalu 2 points3 points ago

That's almost a given, the only time I've ever seen a mink was when it killed 3 of my chickens.

[–]Disco_Bloodbath 0 points1 point ago

Yeah we had a veritable massacre the first time we brought chicks home. Whether it was a mink or stoat, it was very good at eating everything except the heads...

[–]Mustelaerminea 6 points7 points ago

It is a Mustela erminea, or an ermine. Trust me, I'm an expert.

[–]FuckNewReddit 47 points48 points ago

I dont care what it is. That thing needs to be turned into a coat asap

[–]ChexLemeneux42 15 points16 points ago

[–]waitthissucks 3 points4 points ago

Sorry to butt in, but what are the awesome lyrics from?

[–]jobin_segan 2 points3 points ago

You need to watch the Simpsons more... well, seasons 3-10 or so.

[–]alaskangamer777 0 points1 point ago

Weird. That was in the tune of 'Be Our Guest' from Beauty and the Beast in my head

[–]jobin_segan 0 points1 point ago

Good catch. While the entire episode is a parody of 101 dalmations, the tune in that particular song is from "be my guest".

[–]Valosarapper 2 points3 points ago

Mr Burns' song from 'The Canine mutiny' ep of The Simpsons. Mr Burns steals all Bart's puppies and plans to make them into a garment of some sort.

[–]ChexLemeneux42 3 points4 points ago

No, pretty sure it's a shiny-albino Furret.

[–]bitbotbot 0 points1 point ago

What you doin', mink?

Actually I'm a stoat.

Oh. So what you doin'?

Oh, you know. Just chinchillin'.

[–]Carnationlilyrose 3 points4 points ago

Yes, it's stoatally different.

[–]Evident_Weasel 4 points5 points ago

It's weaselly identified as something otter than a mink.

[–]UpVote1DownVote2 92 points93 points ago

am i the only one who finds it amusing that people can take the time to repost but not learn what the animal even is?

[–]mojomonkeyfish 27 points28 points ago

The title was so generically passive-aggressive, I assumed it was a bot.

[–]auntiecoagulant 7 points8 points ago

It's an ermine and none of the above right?

[–]apteryx_274 0 points1 point ago

I think so, Mink are bigger. EDIT: I grew up in a rural area and there were mink/weasel/fisher/otters fucking everywhere.

[–]FancySkunk 0 points1 point ago

Ermine is simply another name for stoat, usually implying that it has its winter coat.

[–]thekilljoy 1 point2 points ago

It would be acceptable to call all of them weasels if you're not sure.

[–]brosiusra 4 points5 points ago

(Baby) Minkferretweasel.

[–]Lurking_Grue -1 points0 points ago

Ferret's have masks.

[–]NecroParade 0 points1 point ago

Not always. My pet ferret doesn't have a mask at all.

[–]NeinNeinNein 8 points9 points ago

I find it kind of soul destroying how often it occurs on here.

[–]Bladelink 1 point2 points ago

They always repost this, and they always call it a weasel or some shit. If you don't even know what it is, wouldn't you check the comments or something?

[–]thekilljoy 1 point2 points ago

Weasel is acceptable, mink is probably wrong in this case. When in doubt; go up a notch in the scientific classifications.

[–]Makalu 2 points3 points ago

Possibly 4 DIFFERENT animals.. that's quite funny.

[–]pandashpace 3 points4 points ago

also me. Posted this a year ago

It is a stoat and they can be very un-cute too

[–]Lurking_Grue 0 points1 point ago

Dawwww! Little teef!

[–]OneofthemBrians -1 points0 points ago

So the answer is yeah, there is ans has been plenty of room for this one picture of a mink.

[–]trifles 19 points20 points ago

The otters and minks are at war. Citation: http://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2012/07/13/let-the-battle-commence-otters-stand-up-against-mink-invasion/

Reddit has taken a firm pro-otter stance.

[–]Ritz527 24 points25 points ago

Did anyone else think of the "Redwall" books when they read that?

[–]NeinNeinNein 9 points10 points ago

Instantly.

[–]DillPixel 0 points1 point ago

I have read all of those except for the very last one. that WAS my childhood

[–]Hides_In_Plain_Sight 1 point2 points ago

Sudden desire to scream "Eulalia!" out loud...

[–]FlashByNature 6 points7 points ago

Adorable adorable death

[–]imhereforthevotes 17 points18 points ago

We can't tell, because IT'S A WEASEL.

[–]Derporelli 4 points5 points ago

DAMN! I just posted a picture of a Least Weasel a little after you posted this, I'm going to look like a reposting bastard (although different pictures). I'm also pretty sure this is either a Stoat or a Least Weasel. This is a mink.

[–]devllen05 1 point2 points ago

Correct you are. It is a Least Weasel.

[–]FashBug 0 points1 point ago

Reposting bastard. No, I'm sure all of this is OC.

[–]ProbablySortofKinda 2 points3 points ago

Yes, just not a reposted one.

YES THERE IS ROOM THAT THING IS ADORABLE

[–]prep20 5 points6 points ago

No, but we'll take his pelt.

[–]danno1769 0 points1 point ago

Always room for minks.. on my coat!

[–]Admiral_Akdov 3 points4 points ago

Absolutely not! This subreddit is not for pictures of cute animals that make you d'aww.

[–]kenyonj -1 points0 points ago

no, but there is room in my closet for one

[–]Shnazzyone -1 points0 points ago

That isn't cute I've seen a mink kill 10 chickens just for fun.

[–]jeffpeli 1 point2 points ago

Oshawott, the otter Poke'Mon. It fights using the scalchop on its stomach. In response to an attack, it retaliates immediately by slashing

[–]jamestakesflight 0 points1 point ago

i thought mink was just a word, i am realizing for the first time - what a mink coat is. . .

[–]NeinNeinNein 3 points4 points ago

...Where did you think the fur came from exactly? Or had you only read "Mink Coat" and never seen an actual mink coat?

[–]mackduck 1 point2 points ago

As long as it isn't round here where they are not wanted and have to be killed then yes. Very cure in its rightful place.

[–]Amytherocklobster -2 points-1 points ago

I've seen an actual mink.. Besides the coat :x

[–]Scraggyz 0 points1 point ago

Of course there is 0-0

[–]Roham21 0 points1 point ago

No it isn't! Because of this beasts more and more birds are the brink of extinction here in Germany.

[–]superdyu 0 points1 point ago

NO!

[–]skater296 0 points1 point ago

People should put pictures of raw things under r/aww. People will be like how the fuck is this cute.

[–]pdaddio2239 -2 points-1 points ago

Yeah, if someone takes his insides out we might be able to squeeze him in.

[–]SirDouglasFRESH 0 points1 point ago

For that little guy!?! Of Course there is!

[–]James_Holmes 1 point2 points ago

There is always room for minks, stoats and weasels. We don't have them in my country, but they're so cute! Their names are also awesome.

[–]Carnationlilyrose 2 points3 points ago

The names are some of my favourite words. Also a reminder of one of my favourite Simpsons lines: Weaselling out of things is what separates us from the animals. Except the weasels.

[–]MasterTicketOpener -2 points-1 points ago

There's room on shoulders

[–]an_ancient_cyclops -2 points-1 points ago

He looks very soft to make a coat out of!

[–]CherryKush 0 points1 point ago

Is anyone else reminded of long cat or just me?

[–]ItsMeMark -2 points-1 points ago

It's so cute I just want to gut it and wear it around my neck.

[–]gigitythatwutshesaid -2 points-1 points ago

So beautiful - I want to make him into a coat

[–]Malcolm1044 0 points1 point ago

This is the internet. Yes, there is room for an additional repost.

[–]illini81 1 point2 points ago

NO

[–]Rankulus -2 points-1 points ago

Hell no that thing is ugly.

[–]n8wolf -2 points-1 points ago

There's some space to be filled on my left sleeve. He will do nicely.

[–]FlailingTubeMan 0 points1 point ago

Plenty of room for a Stoat in /r/aww when it was posted... 2 years ago.

[–]Melodicon 0 points1 point ago

Assuming you can find one that isn't in a coat.

[–]Dreadlordstu 0 points1 point ago

stoat or a monk there is room for this one in r/aww. and in fact this one has had room for it in r/aww before

[–]squankkyy 0 points1 point ago

[–]thebigstank -1 points0 points ago

There's room for one or two in my close... Just kidding, way too cute.

[–]TheoQ99 0 points1 point ago

What if I told you that no, there is not? What would you do then? Stop posting shitty titles like this.

[–]DBZMerciter2005 0 points1 point ago

They are part of the weasel family which makes them related to ferrets which makes me happy. Enjoy the upvote!

Anyone have this picture in coat form?

[–]peterm242 -1 points0 points ago

Awww we could make a little coat out of him.

[–]Roshenhower 0 points1 point ago

Albino diglet ?

[–]rarededilerore 0 points1 point ago

I aww’d all over my desk.

[–]heavymetalhansel 0 points1 point ago

its funny when weasels coat change during winter they are referred to as ermine, this is due to the fur trade and how hard it would be to sell a coat marked as "weasel" in addition their pelts are used to line the white collars and cuffs of royalty and it would not do to have a king wearing "weasel"

cliffs: the name change from weasel to ermine was due to the vanity of royalty

[–]bwxb 0 points1 point ago

No

[–]DukeDanger 0 points1 point ago

Holy crap, I didn't know minks were actual animals, just coats.

[–]avboden 1 point2 points ago

Rule 6: No post titles asking for upvotes or approval, such as "any love for...", "what does /r/aww think of...", or "this didn't get much love on...", or "karma machine".

[–]datruck 0 points1 point ago

It looks like a mix between a girraffe and a polar bear.

[–]gearhead454 -1 points0 points ago

Let's kill it and wear it's skin.

[–]Stateswitness1 0 points1 point ago

I don't really care what it is. Following the rule of cuteness is equal to deliciousness this must taste amazing.

[–]Nabukadnezar 0 points1 point ago

it has blood on its nose. unsettling..

[–]dsclouse -1 points0 points ago

I accidentally hit one of those while snowboarding, I'm pretty sure I killed it, I still feel bad.

[–]MinkBass 0 points1 point ago

Mink as in my username :D

[–]TheJessKiddin -1 points0 points ago

Nope, just in my closet.

[–]iEatMaPoo 0 points1 point ago

No. There is no room here. The internet does not have the capacity...........Naw just kidding. I had you there for a second though.

[–]gsobillnye -1 points0 points ago

No room for reposts here sorry

[–]nismomonkey -1 points0 points ago

NO!

[–]guy_lovejoy -1 points0 points ago

If that was actually a mink, here in the UK it would be trapped and shot at point blank range in the head.

[–]ICantDoBackflips 0 points1 point ago

Whenever someone posts a different kind of animal to /r/aww and asks if people here think it's cute, I always wonder about the hideous creatures that get posted and downvoted immediately.

[–]Calavera190 0 points1 point ago

Chamo?

[–]ItzDizaster -1 points0 points ago

Hmm that would make a nice scarf...

[–]frickparkfaggot 0 points1 point ago

There sure is buddy.

[–]BeerInMyButt -1 points0 points ago

There is definitely room around my neck.

[–]enjoyyourclams -1 points0 points ago

Would make a fine coat.

[–]zygote_harlot 0 points1 point ago

When I see a mink-type creature I just remember all of the chickens of ours they've killed. It was brutal. I think they just enjoy tearing apart other animals.

[–]Clone019 -2 points-1 points ago

Minks can be turned into great coats!

[–]067324335 -2 points-1 points ago

those things make nice coats

[–]Wiqkid -1 points0 points ago

[–]csey -1 points0 points ago

He looks perfect for my next fur coat, how much ?

[–]rollonthemhaters 0 points1 point ago

I wonder, who looks at a mink and says "Aww look at that cute thing. You know, I want to kill your entire family, turn you inside out, put you in a vat of piss, and wear you!" Humans, we be retarded.

[–]AtheistBoilermaker 1 point2 points ago

When I was a kid, one of these kept getting into our chicken coup. It would bite the chickens heads off and drink the blood. Then my dad killed it with a 2x4.

[–]itsyounoti -1 points0 points ago

There is room that for thing in my closer. As a coat... or a scarf.

Just kidding, pretty damn cute.

[–]Yaki304 1 point2 points ago

She was a mink handjob in sarcophagus heels.

[–]BigHector -1 points0 points ago

mmmm I just want to skin it and make a coat out of it.

[–]GiR8Tacos -1 points0 points ago

No, but there is room on my coat

[–]lizzieboo1632 1 point2 points ago

This is an ermine actually, not a stoat or a mink.

[–]lightinside 1 point2 points ago

Adorable: i's say its out of this world.

[–]the7thcolumn 1 point2 points ago

oh you cheeky mink.

[–]bragis -1 points0 points ago

I am quite sure this is a ferret. And no they are not cute, the cause immense trouble to the bird life in iceland, due to their escape from cages in the 70"s

[–]cheddahchad 1 point2 points ago

We watched a video in Ecology about the population of these things. They make the cutest noises!

[–]hohnsenhoff 1 point2 points ago

Yes please now

[–]shinny21 -1 points0 points ago

That is why they make coats out of them. They are not that cute after you skin them. I had to dissect one for A&P. Ugly fuckers without hair. Like over sized rats.
