[[Image:Mustela erminea.jpg|thumb|right|180px|A stoat]]A '''stoat''' or '''ermine''' is a [[carnivorous]] [[mammal]] native to the [[British Isles]], [[Europe]] and [[North America]]. It closely resembles the [[weasel]] but is slightly larger. It has brown fur, but can grow white fur in a cold winter, in order to [[camouflage]] in snow. White ermine fur is traditionally used in some ceremonial garments, such as the robes worn by members of the [[British]] [[House of Lords]].
