Answer 2

There is no "British Mink", just an intruder! The American mink is a member of the weasel family (mustelidae) and a relative of stoats, otters, polecats and badgers. Mink breed once a
year, with five or six kits born in early May in underground dens.
Young mink are weaned at seven weeks. They are very agile climbers and swimmers and can live to be up to eight years old, but few survive beyond their second year.

Mink are not native to Britain but were brought here from North America in 1929 to be farmed commercially for their fur. There have probably been escapee mink in the wild ever since
that time, but the problem was increased following WWII when the industry went into decline and farmers released their animals into the surrounding countryside. Mink were first reported to be breeding wild in Britain in 1956 on the River Teign in Devon - exactly the time that otters were being hit by the multiple effects of pollution from organochlorines, hunting, and loss of river habitat.

Mink are now present on virtually every waterway across Britain. The mink has no natural predators in the UK, although the Environment Agency has confirmed that there is now anecdotal evidence to suggest that the presence of otters may actually reduce mink activity on our rivers and streams

The mink (Mustela vison) is a member of the weasel family, which also includes skunks, otters, and wolverines. They are perhaps best know for their dark brown fur, which turns white at the chin and runs to black at the tips of their tails. They have long, slender torsos atop short legs. Full-grown females are usually 17 to 21 inches long and weigh 1.25 to 1.75 pounds, while full-grown males are usually 21 to 24 inches in length and weigh 2 to 3.75 pounds.

Minks are found along rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, and marshes throughout North America, northern Europe, and the former Soviet Union. They particularly like habitats that provide good cover—such as grass, brush, trees, and aquatic vegetation—and abundant prey. Minks den in cavities in brush or rock piles, logjams, exposed roots of trees, and abandoned muskrat burrows.

Answer 4

You're talking about that elusive Shrewish British female predatory harpy called a Minx. They have the head of a woman and the claws and body of a vulture. If you're unlucky enough to meet one on a blind date just say you're going to buy her a drink and nip sharpishly out of the rear door.

Answer 5

This weasel comes from America
