The Malay weasel is a small predator from the mustelid family. It lives in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and is distinguished by completely bare paw pads.
The Malay weasel differs from other weasel species by its bare paw pads, which improve tree climbing. It helps maintain balance in the forest by hunting rodents and other small animals.
