Incidence of Mink, Mustela vison, and River Otter, Lutra canadensis, in a Highly Urbanized Area

Abstract

Mink (Mustela vison) frequently inhabited or traversed a residential, business, and industrial part of the Twin Cities, Minnesota, with little water or natural vegetation. At least one River Otter (Lutra canadensis) also resided on a small pond on a golf course in the area for several winter months.
