It was seen in the Forth and Clyde Canal.
ONE of Scotland's"most invasive" animals were spotted in Dalmuir over the weekend.
A mink was seen in the Forth and Clyde Canal by local resident Karl Byrne while out on one of his daily walks.He said: “I went a walk with the kids down by the canal near Farm Road and I always have the kids look out for wildlife."It’s definitely a change from the usual scenery of trolleys and ladders. It was a bit unusual to see it in the canal.The American mink was brought to the UK in 1929 to establish fur farms. Since then there have reportedly been many escapes.
Minks are predators and eat birds and their eggs, small mammals, fish, amphibians, shellfish, and crustaceans.
