Description
A wild mink on thin ice at a pond on the grounds of The Ogden Nature Center, Ogden, Utah. At first I thought it was a muskrat but after further analysis, I believe this is a wild American mink. I watched him for quite a while as he dove beneath the ice in search of food. Then he would resurface and run around on the ice before submerging again. Pretty cool!

Fabulous photo opportunity Len. He looks very cuddly, but I don't know if they are too keen on any affection from us humans.
Len Bomba replied:
Probably not. I did enjoy watching him go in and out of the water searching for food. Thanks Elaine! :)
