[CameoRose scan] Painted by Owen Gromme, Goshawk Attacking Mink


The American Mink, Mustela vison, is a North American member of the Mustelidae family found in Alaska, Canada and most of the United States. They are also raised in fur farms for their lustrous fur, which is highly esteemed. Breeders have developed a range of colors from deep black to white.

Some have established themselves in the wild in Newfoundland, Europe and South America after escaping from fur farms. In Europe, tens of thousand were intentionally introduced by the Soviet Union over a period of several decades, to provide a new game animal for trappers, with disastrous results.
