Animal Profile: Chichi the mink
Added 2020-03-09 21:58:10 +0000 UTCHappy Mustelid Monday!
Chichi is a Mink! She is in the mustelid family that includes over 65 other species; most commonly, the otter, ferret, and weasel.
The animals within this family group are carnivores and cannot process vegetable matter.
Chichi is one of our educational animals. So she is not adoptable; she is also deaf, which is a genetic trait in her colour morph.
Chichi loves going to school to educate the children on the fur-industry and her species.
Chichi is 1 year old but she could live to be 15 in this environment.
Her color morph does not exist in the wild; a mink's natural color is dark brown. Her color morph is called "jaguar" and only exists from captive breeding in furfarms for many generations.
