Welcome back to Wildlife Wednesdays with your Ohio Division of Wildlife. Today we spotlight the Mink. This mammal was probably common in Ohio before settlement and today it occurs in every county in Ohio. Because of its preference for small streams cluttered with vegetation or wooded banks, the highest population densities occur in eastern and southeastern Ohio. The mink is almost invariably found near water – both running waters of streams and rivers and the standing waters of marshes and lakes.
