I had heard of these but never seen one until this morning, apparently they originate in Russia and have got as far as Denmark. This one was taken by a dog last night. The local chaps tell me they are filthy things, very aggressive and will play dead. Lets hope they do not get as far as the UK. It is open season on them over here in Denmark right now as they are an invasive species.
Car keys for scale, this one weighs around 5kgs was in good condition and is possibly a juvenile, apparently they have recorded litters of up to 19. They are excellent swimmers and climbers and prefer woodland, they will eat anything including fruit, road kill, insects, birds and rodents.
