It was a Field Marten, not a weasel. The Pompiers still share around the image of its incredibly crispy corpse that was retrieved from the service tunnels at CMS Point 5.

Timeline thing is whatever, the collisions happening in LHC are less energetic than sunlight on a sq cm of grass, they're just much better controlled and measured.

I guess the NPR article screenshot comes from the other timeline where it was a weasel then.

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.

Free shrugs lol.
