The body plan of weasels and many of their relatives in the family Mustelidae is basically a long, slender cylinder with four short legs. Their body sizes vary, and some are more chunkily built than others, but the basic plan remains. And that body plan is not well suited to cold climates. The long, narrow body has a high surface area to volume ratio: a relatively large surface area from which body heat can be lost but a relatively small volume of tissue (muscle and organs) that generates heat. The differential between surface area and volume is especially marked in animals whose total body size is small.
