Mustela africana
 
Amazon weasel (English), Comadreja amazónica (Spanish), Comedreja (Peru)
 
                                                                                                                                                                
 
Tracks:
    Small weasel tracks often show 5 toes on front and hind feet, but the 5th toe does not always register.  The toes are teardrop-shaped and the claws are short.  Small weasels often travel in a bounding gate, with the hind tracks landing on top of the front.
 
Similar tracks:
    Squirrel tracks show 4 toes in the front track and 5 in the hind and have long, slender toes.
 
Notes:
    We have no known photographs of the tracks of this species.  If you have any information or photos of known species, please contact us.
