Being a wildlife photographer is tough. Sometimes you have to wait for hours before the animal is far enough away from you to be out of the minimum focus distance.

Also known as stoats or ermines, short-tailed weasels (Mustela erminea) have a circumpolar distribution. This one was filmed in Nunavut, the most northern of Canada’s Arctic territories.
