      @scracer24c That may be so but even if the PETA-whiners didn't exist, it's still nice to know. It's educational in the sense it can also teach kids that you can kill two birds with one stone and that invasive animals are harmful to the habitat and other animals.

      The scary part is... adult mink can take down an animal 3 times their size. That's ONE mink, a group of them can and have taken down large animals by biting at their eyes and vital points. They're more dangerous than most things in the wild. Due to their small size and high bite strength, larger predators have trouble stopping them in time. Thankfully they don't like hunting together much, or they'd be few things they couldn't kill.

      Mustela putorius, the European polecat, is to ferrets (Mustela putorius furo), as wolves are to dogs. Polecats (ferrets) and European Minks are closely related enough to hybridize, but not the American mink, its closet relative actually being the Siberian Weasel, Mustela sibirica.

      If that take any kind of resource and are overpopulated, then they would still be considered a pest. They’re taking more than what a healthy population of anything would typically take. Even if they weren’t invasive (which means there are even more mouths to feed from the same set of resources the native species use), they’d still be pests as consuming resources or destroying the ecological system would be that kind of behavior.
      I can’t say for sure what the technical definition of “pest” is biology and the like, I’d have to look that up, but I would still personally consider that pest behavior. (Edit: I mean them still being a pest if they WERE native due to the large overpopulation). Since they aren’t native and are overpopulated invaders, I can think of few situations that would be better considered pest situations than something like this, honestly.

    So long as there's enough food, the mink may be willing to tolerate living with other individuals, like how tigers in captivity can share an enclosure fairly peacefully. Siblings would likely be easier to keep together, as instinctively they would know that the survival of their siblings would increase the presence of their genes in the population.

      The Mink man is just the guy to be willing to put in the work.
      But breeding social hunting mink combinations is something he probably can only start, because of:
      - the number of generations required to do it; and
      - the years it would take to determine who the best and most cooperative hunters were.
      But we have the best man on the job for it!
      I hope one of his kids catches the mink fever and becomes his apprentice to carry on his work.
      PS - Strange that I find myself contemplating the future of this fellow's kids 20-30 years down the line. I never concerned myself with that on any other entertainment media productions before o.0

      And that 5 month old mink was entertaining the idea of ripping it to pieces!
      The sheep recognized the behavior as a threat and beat a hasty retreat!

    Good to see that the DNR is positive to your natural invasive fish trapping. Also good for you - and for the mink.

    • @johnlord8337
      @johnlord8337 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Great idea of keeping the waterways purged down of the invasive population. Your mink would be bloated from all the abandoned pet goldfish in that Colorado reservoir that have completely taken over - eating all the vegetation and all the smaller fish.

      It's the same reaction the fish in the aquarium had when they saw Mr. Creosote waddling in the restaurant. [Monry Python's Meaning of Life]

    • @bikesnblades6737
      @bikesnblades6737 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Pretty sure they do not care.
      Funny story, we had a terrarium with mice in it and our Maine Coon cat loved sitting in front of it, poking at the mice through the glass. The mice however didn't give a damn about it while in their tunnels. No reaction whatsoever. Pretty sure they just couldn't comprehend something getting to them while underground, even though they could clearly see the predator. It's likely the same for those fish.

  • @raremedium4091

    I like what you do. Should the mink ever get lost, he can still hunt for himself! I think this is super responsible.
    Using their natural skills and instincts is genius... awesome!

    Mink sound a lot like what cats were domesticated from. I think with selective breeding you could do something similar to the Russian Fox experiment.

  • @rixretros
    @rixretros 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's absolutely fascinating to watch one of them grab a fish and then figure out the best way to evade the other mink. Some are much better at evading
    possible "thieves" than others. .......And the noise when one has a fish and another one is trying to steal it !!! Priceless !!! This little insight into the minds of mink is something people would never see without Joseph and his family and the "miracle" of TH-cam. Thank you so much, folks, for this very entertaining and informative video. What a great idea, Joseph !!!
