The way Stripe-backed Weasel is distinguished from other weasels is in the name itself. They have a narrow, silvery dorsal streak running from the back of the head to the root of the tail. And there is a corresponding yellowish ventral streak from the chest along the abdomen as well. The color varies from deep to pale chocolate brown and the head is usually paler. Regarding the habits of these animals, nothing much has been recorded.
