Weasel - a little brave robber

Weasel, or common weasel(from lat. Mustela nivalis) - a predatory mammal of the weasel family, a species of the genus of weasel and ferret (Mustela). In the CIS, 8 subspecies of the common weasel are distinguished:

Northern weasel Mustela nivalis nivalis - lives in the northern and middle parts of Eastern Europe, in the steppes of Western Siberia and from southern Siberia to the Pacific Ocean.

Southern weasel M. n. vulgaris is distributed in Western Europe and in the southern part of the former USSR, with the exception of the Crimea.

Crimean weasel M. n. nikolskii inhabits the Crimea and adjacent parts of Ukraine.

Greater Caucasian weasel M. n. dinniki and the Lesser Caucasian Weasel M. n. caucasica are characteristic of the Caucasus and Transcaucasia.

Turkestan weasel M. n. pallida lives in the mountains of Central Asia, in the Tien Shan, Pamir and Kopet-Dag.

Siberian (tundra) weasel M. n. pygmaea - inhabits the Russian Far East. She is very small in size with a short tail. The summer fur on the back is pale brownish, with a dull rusty tint.

From Latin weasel is translated as "snowy". It comes from the Slavic laska "love, affection". Akin to bald - "affectionate, flattering, greedy, greedy for goodies." Further here lat. Lasc-vus - “frisky, playful; unbridled, voluptuous."

It lives on all continents of the Northern Hemisphere. Range Europe, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Asia Minor, northern Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Mongolia, China, Korean Peninsula, Japan, North America, Australia. Lives in fields and forests, in mountainous and low-lying areas, not avoiding populated areas. Settles under stones, in hollows, ruins, burrows, barns.

Weasel is the smallest representative of the order of carnivores. Body length 10-25 cm, tail about 5 cm. Weasel weighs 50-100 grams. The weasel's body is thin, flexible, elongated, with very short legs armed with sharp claws. On a long powerful neck, an oblong narrow head, with small rounded ears. The weasel has a pretty, blunted muzzle, a sharp mustachioed nose at the end of a blunt and slightly forked, eyes shining like beads. The tail is short, at the base there are musky glands that emit an unpleasant odor. The structure of a long, flexible body and the color of the fur are very similar to the ermine, but it differs in small sizes and a shorter one-color tail; it does not have a black tassel on the tail.

The weasel's fur is short and tight. The density of fur in summer and winter is the same, but summer wool is shorter and thinner than winter. Summer weasel fur from dark brown to baked milk color. The throat, chest, belly, edge of the upper lip and the inner surface of the legs are pure white. Behind the corners of the mouth - a sharp border of dark spots. In autumn, in cold areas, the weasel changes its summer brown outfit for snow-white winter fur, only the eyes and nose remain black. Only in the southern areas of habitat, where there is very little snow, the animal does not change its coat color.

Weasel fur, unlike many other mustelids, has no industrial and hunting value, so it is not currently hunted. Weasels only accidentally fall into traps or traps when catching other animals - ermines, polecats, minks, moles. Earlier, in the post-war period of the 20th century, the weasel was considered a valuable fur-bearing animal, from 3 to 20 thousand weasel skins were harvested every year.

Weasel is very agile and agile, runs fast, climbs and swims well, is distinguished by great courage and bloodthirstiness and is a dangerous enemy for all small animals. The ability to crawl through the narrowest gaps and holes is its main strength.

Weasel is an unusual pet

To date, affectionate relationships with people are quite complicated. On the one hand, she is disliked for her tendency to brazen robberies and robberies, on the other hand, she is respected for her ability to quickly exterminate rodents. It is curious that if she settles next to a person, she never harms her immediate "owner". But all the neighbors in the district suffer from her daring tricks. However, if the poultry houses are sufficiently well protected (they do not have cracks, manholes or windows), then the weasel switches to house mice and rats, which helps the locals a lot.

They escort the weasel from the farm plot, starting a goat or a goat in the barnyard. Like any underground animal, the weasel is sensitive to earthquakes. Therefore, it is enough to install a pair of windmills that transmit vibrations through the pole to the ground. Along the way, such a device will protect the site from moles, shrews, the same rats and mice. In summer, you can also stick mole repellers and all kinds of vibrators into the ground.

Weasel is a very aggressive animal, known for its bloodthirstiness and daring robberies in human households. It is interesting that nature has endowed a tiny and cute animal with such courage. Despite its small size, weasel has earned the fame of a robber. The weasel has many enemies: wolves, foxes, badgers, raccoon dogs, hawks, golden eagles, owls and eagle owls - they all dream of eating a nimble animal. However, the agile and toothy beauty does not give up without a fight: she is able to gnaw through the throat of the offender, deftly twisting out of his paws at the last second.

When meeting a person, the weasel is absolutely not afraid, but rather takes an aggressive stance. If you approach her, she, without hesitation, will rush to the attack. More than once, weasel itself attacked a person, and it is not so easy to get rid of the sharp teeth of this small animal. It seems that the weasel holds the record for hooligan antics among animals. In a word, weasel is a real robber who attacks everyone he meets.

Weasels are fairly easy to tame, especially at an early age. Unfortunately, most of them die in captivity. But there are times when weasels live for 4-6 years. Hand weasels, unlike their wild relatives, fully justify their name. They are very curious, affectionate and loyal friends. They sleep with people, play with cats and dogs, and some of them never leave their owner's side. One Englishman was even forced to take a weasel with him to work, since, you see, she did not want to be left alone. Here she is such a sweet, cunning, kind and very cute little animal, quite corresponding to her name.

In ancient Rome and early medieval Europe, the weasel was a pet because it hunted mice. Weasel is very agile and agile, runs fast, climbs trees and swims well, is distinguished by great courage and aggressiveness, is a dangerous enemy for all small animals. Weasel in huge quantities, up to 2-3 thousand per year, exterminates mouse-like rodents, thereby bringing great benefits to nature and man. However, due to the poor tameness of the weasel and, to a greater extent, with the appearance in Europe of the gray rat, which was difficult for the weasel to cope with, other animals replaced it as a protector of stocks in this role - ferrets (ferret), cats and genets.

Weasel is an amazing affectionate animal

In the old days, a lot of superstitions and prejudices were associated with affection. In some places, it was believed that she brings happiness to the house, while in others she was treated very badly. Among many Slavic and other peoples, weasel is revered as the guardian of the house:

“A weasel lives in every house. She loves animals very much, and it is because of them that she comes to the house. She braids the manes of horses, runs on the backs of cows. However, if he dislikes the animal, he will tickle.

“Weasel, dove, or lax is a mythical beast, house. In the old days, they believed that weasel is the same brownie who, in addition to everything else, takes care of cattle.

Also in Sicily, they ask the weasel living in the neighborhood not to choke the chickens: “Dove, dove, do not touch the hens, and I will marry you as soon as I have the opportunity. If you are a woman, I will give you a king's son; if you are a peasant, I will give you a king's daughter."

Among many Slavic and other peoples, weasel enjoys great reverence as the guardian of the house. Montenegrins, in order to lure affection, bring a nest with her cubs into the house. In Bosnia, it is believed that if the weasel leaves the house in which she lived for many years, this means misfortune for the house.

According to some beliefs, the soul of the hostess is embodied in caress, the soul of the owner is embodied in the snake. Therefore, no one can kill them. Among the Slavs of the Zilskaya Valley, they are most afraid of killing the white weasel. For Estonians, caress is a sign of happiness. "Each farm has its own caress." Among the many beliefs about affection, there are those in which it helps a person become rich. The Poles of the old Sącz believe that if you call “lady weasel” several times, she will appear, caress the person and show the treasure. The Greeks believe that as a reward for a good attitude towards her, weasel finds enchanted money and transfers it to the house. There is a belief among Polish Jews that the one on whose bed the caress ends up will be rich.

Weasel is the patroness of cattle, especially horses. In eastern Polissya, there is a custom to go with a consecrated Thursday candle to the barn on Pure Thursday to see the weasel there and determine by its color what color the cattle should be kept. In Ukraine, Belarus and Poland, they believe that cattle breed in the color of the weasel. “De in the stoic є lasici, there is thinness,” say the Rusyns of Galicia. To find a dead weasel among Estonians - unfortunately with cattle. In the Minsk region, it was believed that weasels protect cattle from witches. They tell how in one village all the cattle died, because the weasel was persecuted there.

The Ukrainians of Pokuttya believe that "weasel will bring happiness if it comes to the hut for the winter." The Poles and the French believe that the weasel brings only happiness to the house, and if you kill it, the weasel's brood will eat all the hats in the house and poison the food. Among all animals, no one kills weasels and swallows, the Hutsuls say. The Hutsuls also do not kill the weasel, fearing revenge from her relatives.

Weasels cannot be beaten, but the way a person dies, so he can die, - they say in the Lviv region. Lasochka - such a mouse, black to the beast, from the bottom - a big one, - Belarusians say. Lasochka - out like a kitten, - they say in the Zhytomyr region. "Dove - then God's mitten on the right hand, dove - then God's little kvitochka."

In ancient beliefs, under the guise of affection, a woman often appears - a fairy, a sorceress, a sorceress or seductress, a bride or a young married woman, depending on the circumstances. The word itself literally conveys the nature of female charms used to divert attention and achieve the desired result.

Aesop's fable tells how Aphrodite turned a weasel into a girl in love with a young man so that they could get married. But during the wedding, the bride saw a mouse, chased it and turned back into a weasel. In Spain, in Catalonia, there is a belief that if you see affection and tell her “you are beautiful”, she puffs up, puffs up, turning into a person, showing her joy in every possible way. A kind word, as they say, is pleasant to caress.

The Greeks, in order to protect their daughter’s dowry from affection, speak to her: “Little girl, we will give you gold and silver, we will give you a husband so that you get married, have your own house and become a mistress.” The Greeks in the house where the weasel settled put a spindle with yarn, because "she loved to spin while she was still a girl." Greek legend says that a girl who loved to spin turned into a weasel.

Among the Hutsuls, weasel is dedicated to the day of St. Catherine - November 25 (according to the old style), because weasel is the patroness of spinning and marriages. It is believed that the appearance of affection helps a woman giving birth. As you know, a caress ran past Alcmene, who could not give birth in any way, and caused the birth of Hercules. According to another belief, Hera turned the servant of the mother of Hercules into a caress because she helped the successful birth of the future hero.

The Serbs believe that if you do not give the pregnant woman what she asks for, then such a person will be gnawed through the clothes by caress. It is believed that a child, under whose cradle a weasel ran, will be healthy.

The southern and western Slavs have such an epic: mowers, plowmen and reapers, while working in the field, find a nest of affection, and in order not to damage them, they transfer it to another place. Weasel, not finding her cubs, pours poisonous saliva into the vessels with water, but when she finds out that the mowers are moving the nest to its original place, she overturns all these vessels so as not to poison people. She never does evil in vain.

In European fairy tales, an insidious woman appears as a fluffy weasel, trying to seduce or knock the hunter off the trail. In Serbia, they say that if a hunter shoots at a weasel, the bullet will turn around and hit him. It is also said to protect people from being bitten by snakes.

Weasel should not be offended, she can gnaw off eyebrows or hair at night. If weasel is teased, she will spit in the eyes and the person will go blind. In some parts of Europe, the belief is rooted that the bite of a weasel is considered paralyzing.

Weasel is a kind brownie. What color she is - such and cattle are selected, a dog, a cat, and sometimes a bride. They turn to her: "Welcome, my sweetheart, welcome, my daughter-in-law."

Weasel is a symbol of intuition, it helps to easily distinguish between lies and truth, to understand the actions of people. Weasel is chosen as a talisman by those who lack attentiveness, acuity and reaction.

Among other things, the weasel is a well-known exterminator of mice. In different regions of Bulgaria, when they want to get rid of rodents in the house, they invite affection “to the wedding”. Serbs believe that the weasel can exterminate mice in an original way - it inflates them and they burst. Among the Estonians, those people are happy that they saw affection. In Thebes, the weasel was revered as a sacred animal.

In the old days, there was a legend that at night the brownie torments horses standing in the stable - braids their manes, and sometimes brings them to "white sweat". They fought with the brownie: they kept a goat in the stable, which, as it were, the evil spirits are afraid of. It turned out that the brownie is none other than a weasel. Weasel is often found near a person’s dwelling, if there is food for it there. She runs along the scruffs and backs of horses who are terribly afraid of her, trying to throw off themselves and sweat a lot from this. Weasel, clinging to the mane, so as not to fall off, licks the protruding sweat, receiving the necessary mineral salts. There is a belief that a weasel, having climbed into the ear of an elk, can bite him to death.

We are talking about the difference between male and female affection, care and tenderness.

In a matriarchal, woman-centric society, tenderness and care are perceived in a feminine format. It is believed that male tenderness, care and affection are the same as female, only from the side of a man. The same actions.

That is, it means some kind of female-male, androgynous, who for some reason behaves like a woman. When a woman expects the same actions from a man as she herself shows love, she subconsciously confuses a man and a woman.

Meanwhile, this is a big mistake of a woman. I consider, of course, normal man and woman. Strong in spirit, independent, self-sufficient, purposeful man, leader, leader of his family. And a feminine, driven woman, the keeper of the hearth, the faithful companion of her man, the mother of his children, who believes in her man and follows him.

Women's concern is to create a cozy, comfortable, conflict-free psychological climate in a couple, in a family. To extinguish the anger and annoyance of a man with his peace, affection and love. Remember the hardships that the man went through outside the family and not create additional problems for him in the family. This also applies to fidelity - a woman should behave in such a way that a man does not have a single doubt about the fidelity of his woman.

Men's concern is to protect the family from external negative influences, whatever they may be. Solve family problems. Manage your family and budget wisely and prudently. Act as a fair arbitrator in family disputes. Stop major intra-family conflicts and understand their causes. Take good care of your wife and children. And most importantly - it is a responsibility to those who follow him.

Female tenderness and affection is primarily a verbal, bodily, emotional expression of love and affection for your man. Including good sex.

A man expresses tenderness and affection in the form of protection and respect for his woman, preserving her peace. Sex - of course, there are no comments.

You should not expect lisping and sentimental words from a man. Often women accuse men of not “loving” them, meaning that men do not behave like women. This is due to the fact that most modern women do not know how to be with men. Raised in families without a father or with a henpecked father, a dumb cattle, they do not see and cannot imagine what a normal man is, how he behaves and how she, a woman, should behave with him. They adopt the behavior of a capricious or dominant mother. And the image of men and their allegedly normal behavior is formed from a downtrodden baboraba-father, in which unmale behavior is mixed with non-female.

A man shows his love not with words, not with lisping, but with deeds. The main expression of male concern for the family is his determination, courage, perseverance in achieving the goal. When a man knows that he is loved, they believe in him, they help him, they trust him and follow him, that a woman has handed his fate to him, he will move mountains. And it would be fair to say that a certain proportion of these rolled mountains is rightfully the merit of a faithful, reliable companion and comrade-in-arms. The women of their leader.

Some men are embarrassed to show their tenderness, affection to a woman. They think that they will not look courageous enough. Well, if all he does is lisp with his beloved, and the rest of the time he lives like a vegetable, or, even worse, under the heel of a woman, then there is no point in caring about masculinity. Since there is no masculinity itself.

If he is strong in spirit, firm in intentions, purposeful, independent in thinking and actions, a man, then maybe episodes of bodily tenderness will help to take off his armor and relax with a loved one? On the contrary, his everyday masculinity will look brighter against the background of these moments of tenderness.

P.S. For me personally, the most tender expression of caring for a woman is to cradle her on my knees, watch her fall asleep with a smile and cherish her sweet dream) This is about affection. The main thing is my business. Which, including, and for the sake of loved ones.
