Many of Connecticut's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably, these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving Connecticut's wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.

Usually found int he states of Georgia and Arkansas, they can actually be found everywhere and there have been sightings of colonies in Alaska. Florida, Texas and Mexico seem to be less common spots to find them although this is not really well understood. Fast flyers, they are nocturnal, sleeping or grooming themselves throughout the daylight hours, in the wild, mines and caves would be their natural habitat but with the removal of this spaces, attics and barns tend to be roosts of preference, especially places close to water where they can gorge on insects like moths and wasps, at times eating over half their body weight in just one night. They need a lot of food to keep their energy levels up, being super fast flyers, and the tiny bodies grow fast too with sexual maturity reaches at around seven to eight months of age. Males will matura a few months later, usually around the one year old mark, and they mate in the fall with a late fertilization, one baby born at a time (usually) in the later stages of summer - June and July. By the time these young reach a month old, they are considered adult enough to feed and fly for themselves.

New Canaan Animal News Clip: All about Connecticut Mink - The mink in North America is also referred to as the American mink or the Neovison vison. It is a semi aquatic species of mustelid. This mink is native to North America, but it has spread to other parts of the world. This mink is a carnivore and it feeds on things like fish, rodents, crustaceans, birds and frogs among others. Another notable fact about the mink is that it is the commonest farmed animal for its fur and is more economically important that the silver fox and skunk.

Description - As far as its build is concerned, American mink differ from other members of the Mustela genus by its larger size and stout form. Its form and size is close to that of Martens. In addition, the mink also shares with the martens a bushy, tapering tail. The tail of the American mink is also longer than that of the European mink, given the fact that it makes up for about thirty eight to fifty one of its body length.

The mink has a long body, which enables it to enter the burrows of its prey. It has a streamlined shape, which helps it to reduce its water resistance as it is in the process of swimming. The skull of the American mink is similar to that of the European mink. However, its brain is narrower, more massive and less elongated. Its brain also has a wider cranium and is more strongly developed as compared to the brain of the European mink. In addition, the upper molars of the American mink are larger and more massive as compared to those of the European mink is denser and longer. The fur of the American mink is softer, denser, longer and closer fitting as compared to that of the European link. During the winter, their fur is darker, but the color is eventually distributed all over the body, though the lower side of the body is lighter than the upper side of its body. The chin and lower lips of the mink are white, while their tails are darker than their trunks. The mink does not turn white during the winter and it is incompletely adapted to aquatic life.

Locomotion - The mink moves by bounding gait on land. It can move with a speed of up to 6.5km per hour. The mink also swims and can climb trees as well. If it is in warm water, the mink can swim nonstop for about three hours. However, if it is swimming in cold water, it can die in a matter of twenty seven minutes. The mink can dive up to a depth of twelve inches for about ten seconds.

Reproduction - The American mink is an animal that does not form pair bonds. The mink's mating season starts in February. Also, essential to note about the American Mink is that it breeds a month earlier than the European mink. During mating season, it is common to see the males fighting. In addition, the mating season usually lasts for three weeks.
