Animal Discovery

November 9, 1804

Today we discovered an animal with strange features. The body is about 10-18 inches long including their 6 inch tails. Their legs and arms are about 1-2 inches short. They are gingerish-brown in color, with yellowish-white belly fur. The animals live in burrows in the ground always near to each other. They are very good at climbing trees, we even saw one swimming in the river. We decided to name this animal the Long-tailed Weasel.
