About ten years ago, there was an article in the Natural History magazine
on weasels.  It talked about a number of things including strength.  It
talked about a weasel carrying off a full grown hare was akin to a terrier
carrying off a full-grown sheep!  Weasel Schwarzenagger! ;)

she'll steal your heart), atlas (the strongman!), jinx (only the shadow
knows!), and rosie (instead of ring-a-round-a-rosie, it's run rings around
'ya rosie!)
