"SHAKE, RATTLE & ROLL" - Mink (North American)
"SHAKE, RATTLE & ROLL"
Mink (North American) - 6 Photos
We've probably all seen dogs do it. Bears do it. Most likely any furred creature that is trying to "quick dry" after a splash does it :) And yes, mink do it too!
That "it" is the "shake, rattle & roll" to eliminate the excess water from their coats. It does, however, provide some amusing facial expressions, even on a little predator such as the mink.
