Mink

Thank you to the students of Garibaldi Elementary School for providing this information about the American Mink!

The American Mink can be up to 68.7 cm in body length and lives in B.C.. They are brown coloured with white markings on the ventral side (belly), chin, throat, chest and groin areas, and have short ears and short limbs.

Partially webbed toes and short limbs allow the American Mink to easily frequent both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.  They eat meat, fish, crabs and birds.
