5. Lesser Grison

The Lesser Grison are native to South America and are very similar to stoats. These natural hunters were once domesticated in Peru and used to hunt Echidnas. If you have never been to South America then you will have probably never have seen one of these unique mammals before, they are around 30 cm in length and although they are closer relatives to stoats they resemble Otters more physically with coloration not different to that of badgers.
