In Alberta, they inhabit the boreal forest, foothills, and Rocky Mountain regions, where they spend much of their time along the edges of rivers, lakes, marshes, and streams.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA block-font-kerning-normal block-font-feature-liga-off block-font-feature-clig-off block-font-feature-calt-off direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eAmerican minks have sleek, chocolate-brown fur that often appears almost black, especially when wet, along with a long, slightly bushy tail. They are agile climbers, excellent swimmers, and rely on their keen sense of smell to locate prey and detect potential threats. Although they are primarily nocturnal or most active at dawn and dusk, minks may be seen at any time of day. They typically den in abandoned burrows along the water's edge, often beneath tree roots or in old rabbit burrows lined with dry vegetation, fur, and feathers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA block-font-kerning-normal block-font-feature-liga-off block-font-feature-clig-off block-font-feature-calt-off direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eAs skilled predators, American minks feed on fish, frogs, crayfish, small mammals, birds, and insects. Their presence is often an indicator of a healthy wetland ecosystem, as they depend on clean water, abundant prey, and well-vegetated shorelines. By helping regulate populations of small animals, they play an important role in maintaining the balance of freshwater habitats.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA block-font-kerning-normal block-font-feature-liga-off block-font-feature-clig-off block-font-feature-calt-off direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eLike their skunk relatives, American minks possess scent glands that produce a strong-smelling musk used for communication, marking territory, and self-defence. While they are capable of releasing this scent when threatened, they generally prefer to avoid conflict whenever possible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA block-font-kerning-normal block-font-feature-liga-off block-font-feature-clig-off block-font-feature-calt-off direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eThis spring, AIWC welcomed an orphaned American mink that arrived with her eyes still closed, just \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e3–4 weeks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e old. At this age, young minks require around-the-clock specialized care, including frequent formula feedings and careful monitoring, as they are still completely dependent on their mother. Today, she is thriving in rehabilitation; her eyes are open, she is self-feeding, and she has graduated to a larger enclosure as she continues to grow and develop. She will remain in our care until she is old enough to survive independently in the wild. Thank you for helping support her journey back to the wild!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AIWC.ca","offers":[{"title":"$25 \/ Physical Mail-Out \/
