Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book is the first comprehensive and readable account of the species. It describes how mink have evolved to exploit a wide variety of habitats: river, lake, marsh and coast, and goes on to detail the various aspects of their ecology and behaviour. In the concluding chapters, an in-depth look at the two subjects most popularly associated with mink, the fur trade and the effect of feral mink on other wildlife will significantly contribute to informed debate and sensible management of the species. "This is the first volume in a new series on mammals, from a publisher which is known for its excellent books on birds...It is a book which everybody who is interested in mammals of the riverside should have..." --Mammal News
