Warm Sun
This American Mink from awhile back paused for a moment to enjoy the warm sun on it’s face and then scampered off to continue along with his day…

Yep, they are adorable and delightful to think about in the wild. Not sure it’s a good idea to have one as a pet, though. With their sharp teeth, strong bite and aggressive temperament, they’re quite dangerous. There’s a guy in Utah who has several pet minks and goes hunting with them. He really has to go out of his way to be able to pet them. See https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pet-Mink/56943506597

There is only one serious flaw with this photo – I didn’t take it. Fantastic shot..

Well I appreciate that very much, thanks. I would say I was attempting to copy your technique with mammals but I have no chance there.

Meant to be nasty creatures aren’t they? But you could say that about most of us … Bit of a poser mind! I like the light too, shows him off beautifully and the plant to the right looks so ethereal

I know they have sharp teeth so I wouldn’t want one very mad at me. But that could be said about most birds, animals, and people as you say. I have heard that they can really do a job on a pond full of fish so people living on ponds sometimes don’t like the mink if they like the fish. But so it goes in nature I suppose.
Thanks for looking.

Mr. A probably wouldn’t mess with him, and if he did, he might be in for a nasty surprise. Never underestimate the weasel family.

They used to often be seen running around along the marsh but now mostly only by the jetty.

Lovely photo Phil. Sadly they have been very destructive in Britain but they do look good in their natural habitat.

They do look much better in their natural habitat then they do draped around a person’s neck.
