Watch this mink slip and slide through its first day of Boise’s winter

Even Idaho’s wildlife is enjoying the first day of winter.

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game’s Morrison-Knudsen Nature Center in Boise posted a video of a mink running across the icy surface of a beaver dam Thursday afternoon. Immediately beyond where the mink slipped and slid is a stream of running water.

It won’t be long until the mink has an entire frozen dam to frolic through.
