Seriously, I need help looking for the Chinese (traditional) characters of the following animals: weasel, hedgehog, snake and rat.

And NOT the zodiac characters for snake and rat either, apparently those are special and different from normal characters.

I'm having issues with the internet searches, especially for weasel and hedgehog, google's shooting blanks with those, and they're not even in my Japanese dictionary >< UGH!!

If you guys know the (Japanese) kanji for them, then I'll take those and run with it, but the Chinese characters would be best (since it's a Chinese religious concept involving these animals).

I just want to be "right" with these things, since I'll look like a huge American fool for using the wrong characters ><

Edit: Apparently I've stumbled on another reason to hate Naruto. After finding nothing on the Chinese characters for weasel, I search for the Japanese ones and nothing but some guy named Itachi and Sasuke pops up. AAAAARRRGGGGHHH!!!! WHY DON'T THEY JUST DIE ALREADY AND GET OUT OF MY INTELLECTUAL WAY???!!!!!
