j.savilaThis is an American mink, a harmful invasive species in Finland. It preys on the eggs of many water birds, which haven’t naturally evolved defenses against such a predator in the Finnish archipelago. To control its population, mink hunting is actively encouraged. <br> I took this photo in the Turku archipelago a couple of years ago. The mink was playing on the ice, rolling in the snow, climbing on the rocks, and diving into a hole it had made in the ice. Despite being an invasive species, it’s undeniably an adorable animal.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/WildlifePhotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildlifePhotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NaturePhotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NaturePhotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AmericanMink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanMink</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Mink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mink</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Wildlife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wildlife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Finland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Finland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/BalticSea?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BalticSea</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ArchipelagoSea?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArchipelagoSea</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/TurkuArchipelago?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TurkuArchipelago</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Suomi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Suomi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Itämeri?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Itämeri</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Saaristomeri?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Saaristomeri</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/TurunSaaristo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TurunSaaristo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Luontokuvaus?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Luontokuvaus</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Valokuvaus?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Valokuvaus</a>
Tim ☑️ 🔭🌃📷🚴🌳<p>If it weren't for the fact that american mink are a non-native invasive species destroying the local wildlife, I'd find them rather elegant and fuzzy...</p><p>First time of seeing one in the wild myself. Impressed at just how close we got (about 15' across a water channel).</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/mink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mink</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/americanmink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>americanmink</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/perthshire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>perthshire</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/highland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>highland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/scotland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scotland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/video" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>video</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/nonnative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonnative</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/invasivespecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>invasivespecies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/zoology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zoology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a></p>
