With short legs and partially webbed feet, the mink is just as at home in the water as it is on land. These little creatures, which are related to weasels and otters are often found along streams where they hunt for fish. These animals are widely distributed throughout North America, but are not often seen, due to their mostly nocturnal activities. Unfortunately, these beautiful animals are probably known to most people because of their highly sought after fur, which is used to make coats and other luxury goods.

Great capture!!! Watching these guys fish is better than zoning in on anything that 'man' has to offer on the boob tube

Ooh, good for him! Mustelids always impress me--what they lack in size, they more than make up for with sheer determination! This guy's fish is almost as big as he is

they are so fun to watch, and yeah the fish was almost the same length as him minus his tail

Amazing capture, the light looks fantastic and I like how the leafs attached to the fish as well as the mink's pink nose draw the eye into the photo with their colours.
