A black / white / gray tricolor head
The grison (grisón; Galictis vittata) is a large weasel with distinctive coloration. the body, tail, and crown of the head are light gray and the legs, chest, and lower face are black. A white band across the forehead, ears and sides of the neck gives the head a black / white / gray tricolor. The tail is shorter than that of most weasels. It is found in the lowland rainforests but is uncommon.
