Microscopic image of Fusarium, a fungus that causes eye infections. Fungal keratitis is an infection of the cornea (the clear dome covering the colored part of the eye) that is caused by a fungus. Some fungi that have been known to commonly cause fungal keratitis include 1  : Fusarium species.
Stoats live in any habitat in which they can find prey. In New Zealand they can be found from beaches to remote high country, at any altitude, up to and beyond the tree-line; in any kind of forest-exotic or native; in scrub, dunes, tussock, and farm pastures. They are even known to occur near human settlements.
Stoats have a black tip to their tail and are the larger (30cm or so compared to the weasel's 20cm or so). Our picture editor Andy Hosie chose these three - a dragonfly devouring a bee, a stoat with its mouse prey and an otter with a fish - as the best.
