What does STOAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, slender carnivorous mammal related to the weasel, found across Europe, Asia and North America, whose brown coat turns white in winter in colder regions.
A stoat hunts rabbits, mice and other small animals with speed and persistence, often following prey into burrows that larger predators cannot enter. In its white winter coat, called ermine, the fur of a stoat was once highly prized and used to trim the robes of royalty and judges. Farmers sometimes value the stoat for controlling rabbit and rodent numbers, while gamekeepers may see it as a threat to birds' eggs and chicks. Despite its small size, a stoat is a fierce and agile hunter, able to kill animals considerably larger than itself.
