Stoats are capable of the ultimate disappearing trick: they can turn white to blend in with a snowy landscape. Watch the magic as this one moults her brown fur and replaces it with a snow-white coat.

*ABOUT THIS FILM*
____________________
Going ermine
Only some stoats in the UK can actually do this and the transformation in inherited. Unfortunately, climate change means these winter white coats are no longer useful camouflage for stoats.
Watch her transform
This short film follows a stoat living in my UK garden as she slowly moults her chestnut brown fur and replaces it with white. Follow the timeline to see long it takes her to transform. This year the winter has been very mild and she still has a sprinkling of brown on her back. On a cold year she tends to turn white far faster.
