Mustela sibirica quelpartis View in CoL , Jeju Weasel
Even though M. s. quelpartis is separate from 2 subspecies (M. s. coreana and M. s. manchurica) on the Korean peninsula, the primary morphological difference is pelage color ( Won, 1968). Taxonomic review is needed for M. s. quelpartis ( Yoon et al., 2002). According to Won and Woo (1958), a number of weasels on Jeju has been caught by fur trappers. This species occurs around villages, farmlands, and orchards. Also, road-killed weasels are commonly found. This species is distributed from lowland to elevations of about 1,600 m.
