A rogue weasel at large in a Wellington ecosanctuary has now been caught on camera.
Early last week paw prints were discovered at Zealandia followed by a visitor sighting of the creature.
Zealandia spokesman Cameron Hayes said based on the mounting evidence they were confident they were dealing with a weasel.
He said it was caught on a camera trap near the site where its tracks were picked up.
"It confirms what we're looking for. We're not fighting a ghost or that sort of thing and secondly, it confirms the location where a lot of our traps are set and that we're actually operating in the right area."
