Less mainstream factsThere is a misconception that weasels live in packs based on observations of females with well-grown young. This is especially the case with male kits, as weasels exhibit sexual size dimorphism, with males being larger than females and quickly outgrowing their mother. The mother takes her kits on excursions around the neighbourhood in a characteristic formation with them following her, which contributes to the impression. The little family eventually splits up at the end of the summer when the kits are independent.
