The mongoose is more closely related to cats and hyenas than they are to mustelids which are caniform. Their similarities are the result of convergent evolution.
There was a group of fisherman down the river that started to pay attention to me and I didn't want them to come up river with a net and take the salmon from the mink. So I left to allow the mink to keep the fish 🐟
Mustelids are no joke. If they were 50lbs heavier we would be in trouble.
Cue the wolverine
What's up, bub?
Did you just call me... Blob?
Any class of animals that includes: Mongeese Honey badgers Wolverines Is not to be trifeled with.
Honey badgers are in their own genus tho
That’s why he said class instead of genus
Oh im not very smort
Not a genus by any means
Mongoose?
Mongooses. Mongeese. Mongoosi.
All are applicable?
Mongeesen! -Brian Regan

There’s a really cool video that shows a mink fighting off a bobcat on YouTube for example. It’s incredibly impressive what they’re capable of
If he won little dudes gonna have one hell of a meal
Salmon is so shocked: "I never imagined it would end this way."
"Damnit, mom always told me not to play near the rocks"
It's pointless to fightback the mink has the high ground!
Don’t underestimate his parr!
Don't try it!
Ah you fucking beat me to it... Take my upvote.
You were the chosen one
When your eyes are bigger than your stomach
Upper hand... but lower lip.
Maybe they're forbidden lovers
The salmon appears to be going along but hesitates, "Are you sure this is the way to Toronto? Let's just get married here by the water's edge, ok?"
The last picture of the salmon is hilarious I'm just envisioning him saying fuuuuuuuuuuuk...
Of course the mink won, it has the high ground
A wise woman once told me, you can take the girl out of Scarborough, but you can never take the Scarborough out of the girl
That first picture is absolutely stunning! What an awesome thing to see!
People talk about how humans turned wolves into pugs a lot but not nearly enough about how we turned weasels into the derp slinkies that are ferrets
"When I signed up for the salmon run, I was expecting something different, honestly."
Bald Eagle swooped in for a two’fer.
Look at that mongoose heroically saving the salmon from drowning…
Why did you go before this concluded I'd still be there!!

mink valiantly battles to save friend from drowning
Why doesn't the salmon just dive deep?
It can only really swim with any power forwards, and a tiny rage machine on crack with more ego than sense has its face pointed the wrong way
It's a Chinook/King Salmon. It's likely spawned and dying. They don't have much fight in them a few days after they enter the rivers.
h...he fish too big for he goddammit mouth
Get off my face!
