Adapted to life near water, it primarily inhabits riverbanks and lakesides, feeding on fish, birds, and small mammals. Despite their cute appearance, minks are solitary and territorial animals, only coming together during the breeding season. Their fur has historically been highly prized, leading to extensive hunting and farming; however, wild populations remain robust and widespread across their natural range.
