European mink — size comparison — facts and sources

The European mink lives along densely covered banks of streams, rivers and lakes. It uses burrows and gaps between roots.

It hunts in water and on land. Its diet includes fish, amphibians, rodents and invertebrates. Bankside vegetation provides both resting cover and access to different prey.

It often feeds intensively at dusk and before dawn. White lips help distinguish it from the American mink.
