American or European Mink (1 Viewer)

Hi there,

I went to Poland on a mammal watching trip in February 2013 and watched this Mink at close quarters. I put it down as American as no white on the upper lip but just want to get other confirmation.

Thanks

You are correct. Apart from the lack of white on the upper lip only American Mink are found in Poland these days.

What other mammals did you see?

Sounds like a productive trip! Definitely somewhere I hope to visit before long.
