Minks are small, semi-aquatic mammals belonging to the Mustelidae family, which also includes weasels, otters, and ferrets. Known for their sleek, dark fur and elongated bodies, minks are native to North America and Eurasia. They thrive in wetland habitats, where they are skilled hunters, preying on fish, small mammals, and birds. Minks have historically been valued for their luxurious fur, which has led to extensive farming and trapping. However, this has also resulted in concerns about their impact on local ecosystems, particularly when non-native species are introduced.
