I guess the NPR article screenshot comes from the other timeline where it was a weasel then.
Free shrugs lol.
It's part of the weasel family.
Technically no, both Weasles and Martens are part of the Mustelidae family, but they're different. I remember one of the shifters being super indignant about it lol.
I am with you on your distinction, but if you were to choose a mascot for the Mustelids (something notable to represent the whole family) I'm guessing a weasel would be the candidate.
