MINK

Minks live along and near rivers and lakes by forested areas. Their diet consists of mostly fish and amphibians along with small mammals like voles. Minks typically weigh between 1.5- 2 pounds. They are related to the weasel family and when they are startled by something they do release a smelly scent similar to a skunk. They can't spray like skunks but the odor is just as smelly.
