Steppe Polecat (Mustela eversmanii)

The Steppe Polecat is a nocturnal animal that inhabits the vast expanses of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. They have long and slender bodies, short legs, and distinctive mask-like markings on their face. Its fur combines yellowish and dark straw hues with dark markings on the tail and head. 

Likewise, the Steppe Polecat is a skilled burrower, and it often takes over abandoned burrows of marmots or ground squirrels. Its diet includes rodents, insects, and small reptiles, though it prefers ground squirrels and hamsters.
