    I was driving back from a local nature trail when I spotted what looked like a red ferret or possibly a weasel? Unusual, he had a red-coat similar to red squirrels with a bushy, white-tip tail and then proceeded to climb a tree trunk . . . somewhat squirrel-like.

    Do weasels climb tree trunks?

    A white tip tail, just a local variation?

    Thanks,
    Bob Wilson
