LITTLE ERMINE
"The ermine, or short-tailed weasel, is the tiny terror of the tundra. This 2 1/2-ounce lightweight hunts lemmings, mice and ground squirrels with the ferocity of a grizzly bear, dispatching its victims with a single bite to the back of the neck. The kill is make when the ermine's needle-sharp upper canines penetrate the rodent's spine or skull. Death for the hapless victim is instantaneous."
Oh dear.

It's an efficient means of dispatching prey, especially when one is set to automatically attack a new target if it presents itself before the ermine has a chance to start eating. Kill more than is needed - otherwise, one risks starvation.
Also, ermines have a great love of the brains of their prey - they like much of the body, save for the paws, tail and tip of the nose, but they appear to really love brain.
