Well, the untold story and the action shot not taken that followed this photo (and revealed the white bellies) brings to question my woods acumen. I pulled the camera down to see how close I was when they all turned screaming and hissing swarmed the canoe, including the two in the rear (that I was not aware of at that point) that attempted a flanking action. I did not know if they were capable of boarding, but they seemed intent on attempting it at the very least. I am not fluent in weasel but fairly certain they were telling me they were "going to rip my flesh". I swirled one away with my paddle and fled the scene.

Well there goes my politician analogy, we all know their gutless. Wink

Well, I am amazed. It is a poor day when you don't see or learn something new. I have to believe you are right, Solus, as I am convinced you are a consummate woodsman; considering some of the great photos you have gotten and some of the adventures you've had (April 2012).

The animals in the picture are about 4-6" long. The mother (not in this group but with a straggler behind this cluster) was within this size range. They had very sharp pointed faces and white bellies. They are not minks. They may be short-tailed weasels (Ermine), not easy to discriminate between short-tailed and least whilst in the drink.

I am sure weasels can swim but have not experienced seeing them do that. I think Solus' photo is a small mother mink and her kits following her.
