Mink

I've always been fascinated with these creatures.  A mink is one of the most viscious animals in our neck of the woods.  They look harmless, but in reality I would rather get in a fight with a grizzly bear than a mink.  They have razor sharp teeth and they are lightning fast.  If you know a chicken farmer, they'll probably tell you stories of mink troubles.  The end result is never pretty.  It's for this reason that I find them fascinating.  They are creatures of the night and rarely come out during daylight hours.  This, coupled with the fact that they don't like humans, have made it a goal of mine to sneak close enough to capture a good shot.  It took me a few years, but I finally snapped one that I am proud to share.  The mink - a killing machine!

I learned something new today to whomever wrote this story about the Mink being so mean I never knew that, I am kinda shocked, they look so harmless I always want to think animals are more afraid of us then we are of them. If I were to ever see one of these guys in my lifetime I at least now know be aware. Hope my dogs NEVER see one
