About the Mink (Neogale vison)
The American mink is a member of the weasel family that has adapted well to aquatic and land environments. Several subspecies exist throughout North America, residing in wetland areas, riverbanks, lakeshores, and marshes throughout most of the United States and Canada. The American mink especially thrives in environments where water and dense vegetation provide ideal hunting grounds.
Minks are known for their exceptional hunting abilities. They pursue prey both in water and on land with remarkable agility. They mainly eat fish, frogs, crayfish, small mammals, birds, and aquatic insects. Adding a mink to your taxidermy collection is an investment in one of nature’s most perfectly adapted predators. The mink’s sleek form and beautiful brown coat make it an exceptional centerpiece that showcases the wild beauty of North American wetlands.
Mink Hides/Pelts & Rugs
Mink pelts are prized for their incredible softness, natural luster, and rich coloration. Our careful taxidermy process preserves the hide’s natural oils and flexibility while maintaining the coat’s distinctive sheen. Each mink pelt is carefully prepared to highlight the mink’s natural color variations, from deep chocolate browns to lighter cinnamon tones. These pelts are perfect for displaying in your cabin or man cave, adding in a museum exhibition for educational purposes, or blending in with a custom, hybrid-taxidermy fur project.
Mink rugs transform this luxurious fur into functional art pieces that bring warmth and elegance to any interior space. Our rug preparations preserve the hide’s natural shape while ensuring durability and longevity. The finished product features the complete pelt with head, legs, and tail intact, creating a stunning accent piece that showcases the mink’s coat quality. Check out more information about mink rugs, hides, and pelts in our article here on how to take care of fur pelts.
Mink Life-Size Mounts
Our life-size mink mounts showcase the mink’s natural proportions, muscular build, and characteristic posture. Whether positioned in a hunting stance, alert pose, or natural resting position, our life-size mounts demonstrate the animal’s sleek athleticism and wild character.
Each mink taxidermy mount is carefully crafted to reflect accurate anatomy and natural behavior patterns.
Wall Pedestal Mounts
Wall pedestal mounts offer an elegant way to display your mink while saving space. These sophisticated presentations focus on the animal’s head, shoulders, and front legs, mounted on a custom hardwood pedestal.
The result is a striking wall display that highlights the mink’s intelligent expression, alert eyes, and beautiful facial features. Wall pedestal mink mounts are perfectly suited for dens, offices, or trophy rooms where space is limited.
Shoulder Mounts
Traditional shoulder mounts provide a classic taxidermy display that emphasizes the mink’s head and upper torso. These mounts showcase the animal’s distinctive facial structure, alert expression, and dense coat coloration – pair with vegetation, dirt, a tree log, and water for a unique, one-of-a-kind custom habitat trophy!
Mounted at eye level, mink shoulder mounts create a close connection between viewer and specimen, allowing appreciation of the mink’s facial features, fur, claws, and tail.
Mink Skulls & European Mounts
Our deluxe beetle-cleaned mink skulls and European mounts are one of the best ways to appreciate this predator’s anatomy and hunting skills. These clean, professional preparations highlight the animal’s dental structure, cranial capacity, and jaw mechanics. Mink skulls are well-suited for educational collections, comparative studies, or as unique decorative elements, our mink skull preparations maintain scientific accuracy while providing lasting preservation.
