One of the weasels (6)

I believe the answer is:

ferret

(Other definitions for ferret that I've seen before include "Find (out) by persistent investigation" , "Small fierce animal good for catching rabbits" , "Assiduous searcher" , "Rummage" , "Type of polecat -- or silk binding tape" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
