    What a cutie…great capture…never seen one of those B4…excellent wildlife photo… job well done!!! ;-)

  • Hi Dmarie, they are also known as Ermine, they used to bred and hunted for their fur. Thank goodness the fur trade has more or less collapsed and hopefully it will remain so.

    Oh My CJ, how sweet is this little fellow!! He posed for you, look at that!! I have never seen a Erminia before, ever…………..Beautiful, Perfect Photograph! What a beautiful creation this Erminia is. Thanks for sharing! I think he knows you are a kindred spirit, and mean him no harm. This photo speaks a thousand words!

  • They are only about 30cm long, and where caught for their fur. Ermine used to adorn the coats of Kings and Queens of Europe. Later Hollywood starlets used to wear Ermin coats.

    Exceptionally beautiful great capture you have here. Kind regards out of Africa

  • Thank you so much for your comment. Yes Africa, a wonderful continent. I loved the Safaris, through Zimbabwe, Kenya, Botswana and Madagascar.

    The rich perfumes of the flower and he earth when one just steps of the plane.
