They live in mountainous, tropical, and rainforest areas. Indonesian mountain weasels have a body length of 280–300 mm (11–12 in) and a tail length of 130–150 mm (5–6 in). They are reddish-brown in color. The Indonesian mountain weasel is endangered due to hunting, fur trade, and habitat destruction.[citation needed] There are no recognized subspecies of the Indonesian mountain weasel.

They are able to kill prey much larger than themselves due to their speed and agility.[2] References
