Sys, since I was unable to get a pic of the weasel, here's a list of 8 other adorable animals that live in Egypt:
The Audouin’s Sand Skink resembles a snake but with tiny limbs, which enable it to move below sand surface leaving a beautifully unique track behind it.
This tiny ball of fur is called the Lesser Egyptian Jerboa. The nocturnal creature, referred to by many as the Desert Rat, is found throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
Formally Nile habitants, the Nile Soft-Shelled Turtles (pictured below, harrassing a cat) are now mainly found in Lake Nasser.
The decidedly fashionable Spiny Agama can be spotted across Egypt's Eastern Desert. Fun fact: this breed of lizard gets brighter in colour the hotter it is.
The Fennec Sand Fox populates central and north Sinai, and thanks to its diet of insects, lizards and rodents, can live without drinking almost no water.
This odd-looking fish may look like a crystal sculpture, but it is one of the Red Sea’s most dangerous predators. The Turkeyfish’s feather-like spines have venomous glands that it is not shy to use against intruders.
The bright red Soldier Beetle, found exclusively in South Sinai is said to show off its military stripes as a warning to predators.
The Nubian Nightjar is an expert cammoflage, easily blending with its surroundings in its native Gebel Elba. For some reason, it has whiskers.
