:-/Well, the untold story  and the action shot not taken that followed this photo (and revealed the white bellies) brings to question my woods acumen. I pulled the camera down to see how close I was when they all turned screaming and hissing swarmed the canoe, including the two in the rear (that I was not aware of at that point) that attempted a flanking action. I did not know if they were capable of boarding, but they seemed intent on attempting it at the very least. I am not fluent in weasel but fairly certain they were telling me they were "going to rip my flesh". I swirled one away with my paddle and fled the scene.

Well there goes my politician analogy, we all know their gutless. ;) ;D
