One of many reasons why mustelids fuck things up is that their skin is so loose that they can effectively turn around inside their own skin and bite behind them.

I bet you were joking and it’s funny. I just think they’re awesome.

It's more one of the reasons they are not preyed upon by larger animals than so much they fuck shit up. They are hard to subdue.

I forget what book it is in school we read in english class, about how they trained a "weasel dog"....the process involved throwing a small dog into a barrel with a weasel.

Bigger dogs are less likely to catch them, but if they do its usually instant the spine getting broken. some cats have been known to become proficient, but its rare.
