* Bite to the neck: This is their primary method of killing. They will use their sharp teeth to bite through the neck of their prey, severing the spinal cord and arteries. This is a quick and efficient kill.
* Drowning: Minks are excellent swimmers and will often drown their prey in water. They may hold the animal under the water until it suffocates or drag it underwater and drown it.
* Suffocation: They can also suffocate their prey by biting down on the snout or throat, blocking their airway.
* Multiple bites: For larger prey, minks may use multiple bites to weaken and kill their prey.
While minks are known to be fierce predators, they are opportunistic eaters and will also scavenge for carrion.
It's important to note that minks are wild animals and should be observed from a safe distance. Never attempt to handle or approach a mink in the wild.
