It shows an absolutely adorable sable fur-boy (my guess it's >a boy) with longish silky guard hairs... Could this be a mink? I've never heard of ferrets (or even polecats) living in the wild in Canada (mind you, until recently, I haven't really cared one way or the other... funny how these fuzzballs can change your interests!). Since I live in Canada I sort of felt I had to comment. Please let me know if I'm wrong though, and there are polecats in the wild up here! jackie [Posted in FML issue 2160]
