Abstract
Food consumption, total water intake, urine volume and concentration, and water content in feces were determined under the conditions of fre e access to drinking water and in its absence in some mustelids that i nhabit territories with different water accessibility: Mustela putoriu s, M. eversmanni, M. lutreola, and M. vison. Specific features of wate r metabolism and resistance to dehydration in the studied species corr esponded fairly well to differences in their ecology.
