Did anyone know that Leonardo Da Vinci only painted four portraits of women, and one of those featured an ermine? I bet the Mona Lisa was just one or two beers away from posing with an ermine.
Here's an interesting article about Da Vinci's painting, "Lady With An Ermine". Apparently she didn't initially have an ermine, and then he added a gray one, and then later changed it to a white one. Just like the future UND mascot.
