weasel

The weasel, stoat, martin, and the ermine are all very similar animals that can be found occasionally as heraldic symbols. The ermine, which the most common furs in heraldry are based on, symbolizes purity. This association comes from the legend that this small white animal preferred death to defilement. The martinet is the vanguard of spring and represents one who brings good news. There is also a type of martin with a white throat, called a foine that is found in blazon.
