The American mink may be small but it is a very efficient predator that is able to hunt prey as large as itself. It is and skilled swimmer and climber, it consumes birds, fish, amphibians and small mammals, posing a particular threat to ground-nesting birds. Although it is native to North America, it was introduced around the world for fur farming, and escapees have established populations in Europe and South America. https://upload.facebook.com/projectnoah/...
