The stoat has an elongated neck, the head being set exceptionally far in front ...

The higher stoat numbers reduce the rodent population and the stoats then prey on birds. [6] For instance, the wild population of the endangered takahē dropped by a third between 2006 and 2007, after a stoat plague triggered by the 2005–2006 mast wiped out more than half the takahē in areas where stoat numbers were not limited by trapping.
