Least weasel – Mustela nivalis – Comadreja

Least weasel – Mustela nivalis – Comadreja

The least weasel (Mustela nivalis), known as the “comadreja” in Spain, is the world’s smallest carnivore—measuring just 16–20 cm in length and weighing 25–45 g. These slender, nocturnal hunters sport seasonal coats—brown in summer, white in winter in colder regions—and feed on small rodents, insects, birds, and reptiles. In Spain, they thrive across diverse habitats, from Pyrenean woodlands to Andalusian fields. Females can produce multiple litters of 3–7 young per year, though wild weasels typically live only two to three years. Despite habitat loss and pesticide threats, conservation efforts help sustain their vital role as natural rodent controllers.

From fewer than 100 in 2002, the species is now expanding in both range and breeding strength—yet challenges remain. (Iberian Lynx Population Reaches 2401 in 2024)
