A mink is a small, semi-aquatic carnivorous mammal in the weasel family, known for its long, slender body and very soft, dark brown fur that has been widely used in the fur trade. There are two living species usually called mink: the American mink and the European mink, both native to the Northern Hemisphere and typically found near rivers, lakes, and wetlands where they hunt animals like fish, frogs, and small mammals.
