 The ermine (stoat) is a member of the family Mustelidae, one of the
families with the most species in the order Carnivora. The Mustelidae also
includes other weasels, minks, otters, ferrets, badgers, martens and in
some taxonomical classifications skunks.

 The Russian Desman is now a protected species under Russian law. Unfortunately, due to loss of habitat (farming), pollution, illegal fishing nets, and the introduction of non-native species (e.g. muskrat), population levels continue to decline. In the mid-1970s, there were an estimated 70,000 desmans in the wild; by 2004 the figure was only 35,000.
