The European Polecat inhabits Western Europe and the British Isles. They are highly adaptable, living in various landscapes, including forests, farmlands, and riverbanks. 

They are primarily terrestrial, preferring to move on solid ground during the night. Moreover, they have a dark mask-like pattern around their eyes that contrasts with their lighter fur. 

Polecats are small, measuring between 13.8 and 20 inches. The male weasels are slightly larger than the females but are agile and strong. They have a compact, sturdy body, short legs, and a broad, rounded head. 

Their diet mainly consists of small mammals, birds, frogs, fish, and insects, though they are skilled at hunting various prey.

This beautiful tree is one of the few deciduous conifer trees on Earth, meaning its leaves change colors in the fall and then drop. The European larch (Larix decidua) grows in a pyramid shape and produces soft, bright green needles that turn to a striking golden-yellow hue come autumn. “[It offers] the best fall color tree out of all conifers,” says Preston Stout, expert gardener and landscaper at TeachMe.To.
