A Little Critter




While Ava and Russell were fishing this little critter ran out from one of the docks over to Ava and Russell (a couple feet away) looked at them for a minute and then continued and ran under another dock. We were not really sure what it was. Russell called it a weasel, Mom thought it might be a muskrat or a mink. Rick though it looked like a ferrett and my guess was a river otter. After doing research, I think it was a mink. Any body else know? Grandpa, Joanne? You two seem to know your wildlife!!)

Seems to be in the Ferret family, but it's not a Ferret. Though they are related to both skunks and weasels. My guess is an Otter.
