Small but perfectly formed animal (5)

I believe the answer is:

stoat

(Other definitions for stoat that I've seen before include "Provider of ermine" , "Weasel, ermine" , "Small carnivorous mammal of the weasel family" , "Member of the weasel family" , "Weasel-like mammal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
