Endangered weasel released back into nature

An endangered weasel has been released back into its natural habitat after being treated by locals in Turkey's eastern province of Siirt.

Believed to have been hungry and fallen exhausted due to heavy snowfall in the region a while ago, the weasel was found by Nureddin Yeşilfidan, a villager living in the province's Baykan district.
