(females), adult males are slightly larger than females. The European Mink has a long, slender body and short limbs. The pelage is dense and short, and reddish-brown in color; the underparts are paler than the back. A margin of white occurs around the mouth and sometimes on the chest and throat. The skull is flat and narrow. Dental formula: 1 3/3, C 1/1, P 3/3, M1/2=34.

Males occupied adjoining river sections with minimal range overlap, suggesting an intra-sexual exclusive spacing pattern for males.

. Habitat loss and degradation is a serious threat in many parts of Europe. Ongoing destruction and degradation of freshwater and associated terrestrial habitats has been caused by hydroelectric development, river channelization, and water pollution. Although its fur is not as valuable as that of the American Mink, the European Mink was widely trapped for commercial purposes. It is now legally protected in all range states and at least part of the population occurs within protected areas. However, accidental trapping still poses a threat. In
<collectingCountry box="[776,873,3247,3276]" name="France" pageId="33" pageNumber="652">France</collectingCountry>
, secondary poisoning and trapping of European Mink has occurred as a result of efforts to control Coypu (Myocastor coypus) and small carnivore species. Accidental mortality through vehicle collisions is a problem in some areas. Competition with the American Mink (an alien invasive species) has been hypothesized as a contributing factor. In
<collectingCountry box="[939,1016,3408,3433]" name="Spain" pageId="33" pageNumber="652">Spain</collectingCountry>
and
<collectingCountry box="[1097,1194,3408,3433]" name="France" pageId="33" pageNumber="652">France</collectingCountry>
, hybridization with the European Polecat may also be a threat. Field studies have been undertaken to determine its ecological requirements, to analyse the causes of its decline, and to assess the genetic variability of western populations. In

and
<collectingCountry box="[2382,2479,337,366]" name="France" pageId="33" pageNumber="652">France</collectingCountry>
, programmes have been started to control the American Mink population. A captive breeding programme was launched in 1992 under the European Zoo Association. Reintroduction efforts are underway in
