Excerpt from Wildlife in North Carolina, Vol. 52: January, 1988 But studies of mink feeding habits show that muskrats are far from their only prey. They are opportunistic feeders, and more frequently feed on crayfish, poultry, salamanders, crickets, squirrels, snakes and turtles. They will also eat small birds or their eggs, mussels and clams.

With its beady black eyes, pointed snout, and needle teeth it looks as though it could do some damage. It's a member of the family Mustelidae, counting as its cousins skunks, weasels and river otters, amongother fur - clad family members such as ferrets and martens not found in North Carolina. All are characterized by long bodies, short legs, sharp teeth and, especially in the case of the skunk, pungent anal scent glands. The mink 's lustrous, silky fur is made into coats or stoles, perennial symbols of status among the wealthy.
