Mustela nivalis subpalmata

The Egyptian weasel, like many mustelas, was previously considered a different species (Mustela subpalmata). It is closely related to the Mediterranean Least Weasel. It has been suggested that it ventured south into Northern Egypt and developed different communal patterns and skull size from its ancestors.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/297724254_Taxonomic_status_and_origin_of_the_Egyptian_weasel_Mustela_subpalmata_inferred_from_mitochondrial_DNA
