A Mink

[coastalconn]

Saw this little critter the other morning. My camera was in manual mode for my diving Osprey and I only got one chance. It was underexposed by quite a bit. But the first time I've ever seen one... Hard to believe this cute little guy is such a hardcore predator...

Looks like he saw you about the same time you snapped. They are not much to look at wet but they sure dry out looking great! And believe me, if you ever encounter one in a trap they are ferocious!
