Photo of the Week - July 26, 2020 - "A Mink's 40 Winks" - Mink (North American)
"A MINK'S 40 WINKS"
North American Mink (2 Photos)
So how much is a "wink" of sleep. Well, one source says it's "much longer than a jiffy and about the same time as a shake of a lamb's tail" . :) LOL
These two photos were taken very late Spring after a successful fishing expedition by this little mink. It had found somewhere in the shade where it could lounge and probably clean and oil its fur against the rocks.
Catching a mink in such a leisurely pose was indeed a rare occurrence for me. The "time out" definitely did not last long, maybe a little longer than a "few shakes of a lamb's tail"!
