You return to find they've single-handedly redecorated your house like it's their personal jungle gym. What do they think this is, a mansion? Meanwhile, the neighbors are over here with their "normal" pets, just chilling. But us? We get the chaos and the cuteness. Only a mustelid can turn chaos into art!

My best friend gifted me her old IPhone and showed me how to make stickers! I have already been sending them to everyone.

I am in my 20’s and the last update I had was where you could JUST start reacting to messages and stuff. I have used this power for the greater good I believe.

This is something that has actually happened in Scandinavia

I tried to draw what to me is one of the most fascinating predation events in the animal kingdom.

Was photographing an owl last week when it perked up, eyes wide. Next thing I knew this mink was bounding across the snow and into the hole here before popping its head out to look around briefly before running back into the trees.

My aunt and mum and I are debating what these are. Auntie thinks mink, mum and I are team otter.

Anyone feel confident making an ID and explaining how you got there?

The fur texture, face shape, movement, swimming style, and neck coloration made me think otter on first watch, but now second guessing myself.

Hey! If anyone here has experience with mustelid research, I’d love to hear all about what academic/career path you took to get there. I’m currently a 3rd-year university student and I’m eager to get out in the field, but I’m at that stage where I need some guidance :)

Despite there being only 1000 wolverines in Alberta, and only 200 to 250 of them being breeding females, Alberta has decided to let the trappers kill as many as they want. Apparently the province thinks the kill data will give them better population estimates. So we are going to let trappers kill as many of these slow to reproduce animals as they want, so we can know how many are left? What then? Are they seriously going to protect wolverines when the trappers kill too many and the decline of this species accelerates? I doubt it.

Fur trapping hasn't faced an organized movement to protect wild furbearers in some time. The modern anti fur movement is doing excellent work, but is focused on fur farming. I appreciate that. But someone needs to fill the gap and address commercial fur trapping.
