When: September 26, 2021

Where: Artisklas Haarlem, the Netherlands

They're so immensely curious about everyone walking by, it's glorious to see

Species: American Mink (Amerikaanse nerts)

Latin name: Neovison Vison

Originates from North America – introduced to Europe, South America and Asia.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

…It differs from Stoats and Weasels by it’s larger size and stouter form, which closely approaches that of Martens. It is similar in built to the European Mink, but sporting a longer tail.

…The American Mink tends to only vocalise during close encounters with other Minks or predators.

…It is the animal most frequently farmed for its fur – exceeding Silver Fox, Sable, Marten and Skunk in economic importance.
