Prefers areas with high densities of small mammals. Most abundant in ecotones. Mostly nocturnal but will hunt during the day. Active throughout the year. Dens in ground burrows, under stumps, rock piles, or old buildings. In Montana, apparently prone to montane forest associations. Elsewhere occupies a diverse range of habitats. Nests in hollow trees, rock piles or burrows. Short-tailed weasels can be found in a variety of habitats ranging from wooded areas to grasslands. Short-tailed weasels require areas of heavy cover but tend to avoid dense forests. Weasels will burrow, or build, a nest in rock or wood piles, in a hollow tree, or under a building. Often, rather than building their own nest site, they will simply take over one of their prey's. Weasels are not social animals. With the exception of the breeding season, it is rare to find a male and female together. Although these fierce predators are active during the day, they are considered to be nocturnal. They are quite aggressive and will defend their territories from any intruder. They are skilled hunters having great speed and agility. They can also swim and climb.
