	Mink: Nature Snapshots from Minnesota DNR: Minnesota DNR
		Mink eat just about any type of animal that lives in and near water, including fish, frogs, ducks, crayfish, eggs, and land animals such as mice and rabbits.
		Wild mink have been one of the most valued furbearers for two centuries, and thousands are trapped throughout Minnesota each autumn by licensed trappers.
		Mink often leave their droppings on rocks and logs at the stream edge, and sometimes even on boat and fishing docks.

	Mink Frog
		Dark markings on the hind leg of the mink frog, however, tend to parallel the long axis of the legs rather than run across the legs as they do in the green frog.
		Furthermore, webbing on the toes of the hind feet extends to the last joint of the fourth toe and to the tip of the fifth toe in the mink frog, but rarely passes beyond the second joint of the fourth toe, and never reaches the tip of the fifth toe in the green frog.
		The ventral surface of the mink frog is grayish white, but pale yellow may appear on the lower sides and chin of some individuals.

	Mink - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In the European mink the upper lip is also white, but, as this occasionally occurs in American specimens, it fails as an absolutely distinguishing character.
		The principal characteristic of the mink in comparison with its congeners is its amphibious mode of life.
		It is to the water what the other weasels are to the land, or martens to the trees, being as essentially aquatic in its habits as the otter, beaver, or musk-rat, and spending perhaps more of its time in the water than it does on land.

		The average lifespan of a mink is less than one year, a number greatly affected by high infant mortality; it is uncommon for a mink to live as long as four years.
