Mink - Smoothest Criminal

Minks are small mammals with long, thin bodies, short legs, pointed snouts and claws. These soft creatures are related to ermines, ferrets and weasels and look much like their relatives. Their fur is highly valued.
There are two species of minks: European minks and American minks. They were once classified in the same genus, Mustela, but recent research has led to the American mink being classified separately in the Neovison genus. Enjoy!:)

Actually, the Mustela genus is actually polyphyletic, the genus is now restricted to only eight extant species, the Least Weasel (Mustela nivalis), the Common Weasel/Short-Tailed Weasel/Stoat/Ermine (Mustela erminea), the Missing-Toothed Pygmy Weasel (Mustela astoodonnivalis), the Sichuan Weasel (Mustela russelliana), the Mediterranean Weasel (Mustela numidica), the Egyptian Weasel (Mustela subpalmata), the Morocco Weasel (Mustela moroccana), and the Algerian Weasel (Mustela algeriensis).
