*** About Minks: Minks are small, semiaquatic mammals known for their luxurious fur and nimble bodies. Native to North America, they are commonly found near water bodies where they hunt for fish, frogs, and other small aquatic animals. Minks are solitary and highly territorial animals, often seen patrolling the water edges in the twilight hours which enhances their mystical presence in art and folklore. Their fur, once a staple of the luxury garment industry, has now become synonymous with ethical debates around animal rights, leading to a significant decline in their use in fashion. Conservation efforts focus on maintaining their population in wild habitats, where they play a vital role in the ecosystem's balance.
