In the province Friesland, in the north of Holland, this polecat Mustela putorius was found dead along a roadside. The fresh killed carcass was taken home for further examination. It became clear that it was a 52 cm, 1350 grams weighing male animal. Because of a collision both upper canines were missing and the lower jaw was fractured at multiple places. After opening the chest a bloody scene revealed the badly damaged kidneys and liver. An inspection of the stomach showed the remains of its last meal, a toad.
