Today,we will be talking about the European Mink, a fast and agile species of mammalthat looks similar to a ferret or weasel. 

First,the European Mink has a rather elongated body, with short limbs. The feet aresomewhat webbed to help swim. The mink has a large broad head with short earsand the tail is short. The european mink’s winter fur is very thick and dense,but not very long, and loosely fits the mink’s body. The color can be darkbrown or black brown, or a reddish brown color. The fur coloration isrelatively even throughout the mink’s coat. 

Europeanminks have a diverse diet consisting of animals. They like to eat voles, whichare a type or rodent, crustaceans like crayfish, frogs, water insects, andfish. 

Europeanminks are mostly restricted to Europe, but their population has declined,making them less and less common. Some reasons for this are habitat loss,overhunting, less food for them to eat, competition with other animals,disease, and predators.
