Scurrying Mink, Scavenged Crayfish
This photograph captures a mink in the midst of a successful hunt, scurrying along a large smooth rock with a freshly caught crayfish in its mouth. The mink, known for its agility and speed, showcases its prowess as a hunter in the coastal environment. The crayfish, held firmly by the mink’s strong jaws, is a testament to the mink’s skills in navigating the marine food chain. As the mink carries its prized catch to a safe location for consumption, the photo highlights the constant struggle for survival in the natural world, where predator and prey play their roles in maintaining the delicate balance of life. The photograph is a striking glimpse into the everyday life of these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat along the shoreline of the Thousand Islands region in Ontario, Canada. https://Duncan.co/scurrying-mink-scavenged-crayfish 1000 Islands, agile, animal, Animal behavior, animals, aquatic, balance, bc1qprh73zec34u37cvh2wpmghxrgqm8tdhvn2px2s, Canada, capture, carnivore, catch, claws, closeup, coast, coastal, coastal life, coastal scene, crab, crayfish, creature, crustacean, determination, Duncan Rawlinson, Duncan Rawlinson Photo, Duncan Rawlinson Photography, Duncan.co, ecology, ecosystem, environment, feeding, food chain, foraging, fresh catch, Freshwater, fur, grasped, habitat, held, HNmX67wXmbwm88BExQxqVAw62KHeuVkcqFN94TvuibyQ, https://Duncan.co, https://Duncan.co/mink-with-crayfish-02, https://Duncan.co/scurrying-mink-scavenged-crayfish, https://photo.duncan.co/gallery-image/1000-Islands/G0000_xCYYLo1vP0/I0000TGR.Z15hTug/C0000XDn4bqQVOzk, hunted, hunter, hunting, legs, life in motion, mammal, marine, marine food chain, marine life, meal, mealtime, mink, Mink with Crayfish, Mink with Crayfish 02, natural, Nature, nimble, Ontario, outdoor, outdoors, Photo by Duncan Rawlinson, predator, predator-prey, prey, pursuit, quick, riverside, rock, rock surface, Scavenged Crayfish, scavenger, scurry, Scurrying Mink, Scurrying Mink Scavenged Crayfish, sea, shellfish, shoreline, shoreline encounter, Shot with Sony α7R IV, skill, small, sony, Sony A7RIV, Sony α7R IV, stealth, Stone, strategy, success, Summer, Summer 2021, Summer 2021 1000 Islands Ontario Canada, Summer-2021-1000-Islands-Ontario-Canada, survival, Taken With A Sony A7R IV, Taken With A Sony α7R IV, Taken with Sony α7R IV, teeth, Thousand Islands, Triumph, triumphant, uploaded, victory, Water, whiskers, Wild, wildlife, Wildlife photography, α7R IV
