But you do have the same long tailed weasel that some in California confuse with polecats. And yes we can see why. There is a possibly endangered variant called the Florida weasel even (Mustela frenata peninsulae) Don't know if he's in your area. But you can check a list at http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/scripts/htmlgen.exe?DOCUMENT_UW115 [bill First time I saw a picture sent to me from California I thought I was looking a a polecat!
