Meet Wilbert the Weasel. Wilbert is a short tailed weasel from North America. Not fully understanding human geography, he’s not sure exactly where in North America, only that it is very wet and there are lots of trees. Sometimes the wet turns white, and although he’s not a fan of the cold, this is still his favourite time of the year as it means it’s his birthday!
