Mama Mink to the Rescue

A female mink was on a mission when the area where she kept her nest flooded. 

She moved each of her babies (I counted at least 7) from the flooded area to higher, dryer ground, one at a time. A mink can have a litter of two to 10 babies, and often average about four or five.

Mom was clearly determined and was not bothered when she had to pass a few people along the way to get to her new nest. Instagram @danidmedia
