About the Art This work of art was created in 1856, it depicts two animals of the species Putorius erminea, more commonly called the Stoat, Ermine, or the White Weasel. Though the stoat is not actually considered a weasel, stoats are a larger species related to weasels but they are not weasels. Weasels are apart of the genus Mustela while Stoat’s are of the genus Putorius.
The stoats fur color changes in the winter to a bright white color, weasels do not have this evolutionary advantage. This is least noticeable in the southern populations of stoats. The diet of the stoat is a carnivorous one, stoats will hunt and eat most animals they can kill. That can be rabbits, birds, voles, etc.

Branches of natural sciences include Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc.; physics being the study of why the world works the way it does, chemistry is studying what the world is made of and how it interacts with other substances on earth, and biology is the study of how the creatures in the world interact with each other and why.
Biology
Biology is the study of living things. This can include anything relating to living organisms, their life cycles, genetics, development, structure, or chemical makeup. Biology is a vast subject with many different subcategories of it like, Ornithology, Botany, Ecology, Mammalogy, Genealogy, Microbiology, etc.
Natural Collections
Natural Collections are collections in museums, schools, or universities that collect things from and about nature, this can include prints, pressed plants, fossils, geological samples, bones, preserved specimens (plant, animal, etc.), or a wide variety of other things relating to nature.

Biology - The study of living things.
Ornithology - The study of birds.
Mammalogy - The study of mammals.
Territory - An area an animal claims as their own. They hunt, live, and protect this area from those who threaten to take it from them.
Stoat - a wide spread, large weasel-like carnivorous mammal.
Genus - a taxonomic group above species and below family. Creatures in the same genus are more closely related than those in the same domain, kingdom, or family. Ex. Putorius erminea
Species - a taxonomic group below genus, depicting members who interact with each other and exchanging genes. Ex. Putorius erminea
Taxonomy - a system of classifying living organisms.
Animal Art - Art specifically depicting animals, this can be for enjoyment or classification examples.
Diet - what an animal eats. Ex. herbivorous, carnivorous, omnivorous, etc.
