A family of weasels can be observed near the caretaker site in the alkali meadow and in the parking area. These creatures are a delight to watch as they jump and play in the tall grass. They have poor daytime vision and if you are very still and quiet, they won't know you are watching them. But you must not let them hear you giggle when you see them perform their comical acrobatics.
Weasels are lithe, slender animals with elongated necks, muscular, snakelike bodies, and short legs.
They vary from 5 to 16 inches in length, and the male is larger than the female. Their heads are small and triangular with narrowed snouts. Nearly all weasels are brownish-red above and lighter beneath. He often visits KOP with his grandson. The body did not appear to have been run over.
