Youtube "pet mink" sometime. I don't remember the specific title on the vid, but a guy takes his pet mink out to a stream or pond, turns him loose, and videos the thing taking muskrats. It does its work then comes back, he pets it like a dog, and it hops in it's kennel and they go about their way. It's pretty cool to watch a mink when it's got its sights on something it wants.

I found the vid while trying to determine if I should try to get rid of a mink that was hanging around my pond. I know some disagree, but I fall on the side that prefers having him there.
