The Fur Animals of Louisiana 



381 



A Louisiana weasel upper, contrasted with a typical mink from the swamp sections of 

 St. James parish. This photograph shows the pelage of the backs and it should be noted 

 that a portion of the mink's tail has been lost having the effect of shortening the 

 comparative length. 



The under parts of the weasel and mink are vividly illustrated in this photograph. 

 Note that the mink, lower, has a small wjiite area on the belly and chest while the belly 

 -white of the weasel extends practically the length of the body.
