The Mountain Weasel is a small weasel found in the alpine heights of Asia. It resides in Mongolia, China, Kazakhstan, Nepal, and Russia, easily navigating the rocky terrain.
Despite its size, it plays a significant role in its ecosystem due to its slender and agile body. Its fur changes color in winter, turning white to blend with the snow-filled landscape. This adaptation helps it survive harsh weather conditions.
Mountain Weasels are opportunistic eaters and primarily feed on pikas and voles. However, they also consume birds, eggs, insects, and small mammals when possible.

Vinicunca, often referred to as Rainbow Mountain, is a geological wonder situated in the Peruvian Andes. The mountain’s mesmerizing rainbow-like striations make it one of nature’s most colorful masterpieces. The hues are created by mineralogical composition, and it remained hidden under ice and snow for centuries.
Table Mountain is a flat-topped peak that looms over Cape Town. Its unique plateau shape has been shaped over millions of years and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. A cable car whisks visitors to the summit, where sweeping views of the city, coast, and surrounding landscapes await.
