Ferrets - which I think this animal was - are said to be very curious. At least this one was.
A couple of minutes later I saw the ferret again returning to its home under the platform, proudly posing with a nice crab in its mouth. Regrettably, I was too slow and clumsy with my camera, so the photo is not sharp.
PS
A friend pointed out that the animal I saw could actually have been a mink.
A ferral mink. A nasty piece of work in some ways.. An amazing hunter in on way.
ReplyDeleteferrets are actualy domestic animals that won't survive in a wild... so mink it was indeed
ReplyDeleteThese are the only pictures of a ferral mink that i have ever seen. I'm very glad that you were able to take such good pictures and post them. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked the pictures!
I liked your photos. I am a big ferret fan and many homeless ferrets have come to join me up on my mountain. I hope nobody kills the mink. That would be the reaction here. Any animal that is unusual, or just easy to kill, then they kill it.
