I believe it is a Least Weasel, but I'm no weasel expert.Is that a stoat?
I always loved that name: Least WeaselI believe it is a Least Weasel, but I'm no weasel expert.
EDIT: looked on wikipedia and it looks like stoats are bigger, have compartively longer tails, and have black tips of their tails in comparison to the least weasel. Given the small size, short tail, and lack of black on the tail (as far as I could see, dude doesn't sit in one place for long) I think I'm correct in my identification.
It's called a "war dance". I saw an Attenbourough narrated clip of it a while back but couldn't find it, so here's a NatGeo version with terrrrrrrrrible music.I love this. Though I'm sure it's all fun and games until the li'l bastid is bigger than your fore finger.
I'm sure I saw a clip in a British nature doc years back of a weasel or stoat 'hypnotising' a rabbit, but I've never been able to find it since so may well have just imagined it. The weasel just flipped about like it does in the above clip, gradually getting closer and closer while the rabbit just sat there. Eventually the weasel was closer enough to strike.

Umm no, I mean 99.999999% of the time and there have been a few people that had somewhat tame hippos. But in reality, no.Can humans be friends with hippos @Zookeeper Gabe
