Real Mink Skull - Pathology
Real mink skull displaying pathological changes on the mandible consistent with bone infection. This educational piece offers a rare opportunity to study disease processes in mustelid anatomy. Ideal for comparative anatomy, veterinary pathology, or natural history collections.
Mink are dark-colored, semiaquatic, carnivorous mammals of the family Mustelidae which also includes weasels, otters and ferrets. There are two extant species referred to as "mink": the American mink and the European mink. The extinct sea mink is related to the American mink, but was much larger. The American mink is larger and more adaptable than the European mink but, due to variations in size, an individual mink usually cannot be determined as European or American with certainty without looking at the skeleton.

- Skull - Pathology Length 6.5 cm (2.6 in)
- Skull - Pathology Width 3.9 cm (1.5 in)
