Seafarer Minks are creatures that have the body of a mink, ears of a rabbit, tail of a kangaroo rat and webbed toes like an otter. The minks can have three kinds of ears, bent, straight, or a combination of both. The ears are inherited from the parents always, as is the eye color. Each mink wears a bandana from when they're young. The baby minks, or pups, have one around their tail. The teens have one around their waist. The adults have one around their neck. The bandanas can come in any color and design. A Mink pup is around only the size of your thumb. A teen is the size of one's hand. The adult can be as long as a foot, with around a half of that length being its tail.
A baby mink is called a pup. There are 1-2 pups in a litter, and if they are lucky, they may get three even. Minks breed in a place called the Nesting Grounds. They make nests out of water reeds and other aquatic plants. The pups reside here for a few days until they can walk. The ears are inherited from the parents, as well as the eye color. Design vary among pups and not every pup looks likes it's parents, meaning they may be born with different designs but similar colors. A pup is a mink anywhere from birth to 5 weeks old. A teen is from 5 weeks old to 9 weeks old, then it grows into an adult. Adults that just grew from a teen cannot breed. A mink can breed only at 11 weeks old. A Mink can live up to 20 years old.
Minks love to swim, meaning that most of their diet comes from seafood. They eat shellfish, small fish like minnows, crabs and other crustaceans, shrimp, and even sea plants at times. They are omnivores, having sharp canines in the front and a few incisors in the back. They can eat a third of their body weight in one meal. Mothers pick the meat from the shells and chew up the food before giving it to pups because their teeth are soft and undeveloped. They also drink their mothers milk.
Minks live near water, no matter what part of the world. They love to swim and are great at it. They can dive up to ten feet to gather food or just to relax, and can hold their breath for up to five minutes. Pups are unable to swim so the parents place them in shallow pools so they learn. A pup's fur is thick so they have a larger chance of sinking. Most live near the ocean in little homes they carve out of the rocks or trees nearly. Some live in caves and some prefer the open.
Minks were often used as ship pets for pirates. Their ancestors were used as cats are on ships. They catch rats and other vermin, but are also good companions. The bandanas were given to the Minks by the humans as a sign that they had a home.
Pygmy Minks , or Minklings, reside in Pygmy Cove, a special place where they go off to to live and breed. A Pygmy cannot breed with a normal Mink, as genetics won't allow it and remains in its pup stage for the remainder of its life.. Sometimes a pygmy is born from two normal Minks though with around a 5% chance.
