MINK SKULL - NEOVISON VISON

THE SCIENCE

The American mink, Neovison vison, is a nocturnal and semi-aquatic carnivore that thrives around forested streams, lakes, and marshes throughout North America. Adult minks reach up to 2 feet in length, and weigh between 2-3 pounds. Like many of its kin in the Mustelidae family, it has specialized scent glands around its genital area that it uses to mark its territory (and ward off perceived threat). It is a skillful hunter, its diet consisting primarily of small fish, frogs, and crayfish, as well as small mammals. The mink itself is preyed upon by bobcats and foxes, but it is most often trapped by humans for its glossy brown pelt. Its fur remains one of the most valuable within the fur trade.
