Less mainstream factsThere have been rumors on social media that weasels (as well as the North American mink) will suck the blood of their prey. As with eggs, weasels do not—and physically cannot—suck blood. Some argue that weasels are capable of sucking blood because they can draw milk from their mother when unweaned. However, this is called “suckling”, which is a completely different reflex from “sucking”. Following an act of surplus killing, seeing uneaten animals with wounds to their necks may have given rise to the myth that their blood was simply “sucked out” by the weasel.
