Abstract
External morphologic parameters of the stone marten (Martes foina), polecat (Mustela putorius) and weasel (Mustela nivalis) were examined by means of carcasses (n=93, 34 and 12, respectively) collected between 1984 and 2009. The adult males were significantly bigger than the females, in body weight (BW) and all studied measurements, such as body length (BL), tail length (TL), hind foot length and ear length. Mean BW of adult stone martens was 1703 g and 1309 g, BL 450 mm and 419 mm, TL 255 mm and 241 mm in males and females, respectively. Mean BW of adult polecats was 1363 g and 728 g, BL 410 mm and 358 mm, TL 158 mm and 143 mm in males and females, respectively. Mean BW of adult male weasels was 146 g, BL 213 mm, and TL 69 mm.
