4-Legged Creatures in Canatara

I had a couple of fun experiences with 4-legged creatures this weekend.  A mink caught in a traffic jam, appeared to be saying, "Can't you guys move any faster?  The mink wanted to cross the channel. He seemed to prefer log hopping to swimming but eventually dove into the water and didn't bother any of the turtles.

He didn't seem to want to get wet and hesitated several times before plunging into the water as he "log-hopped" across the channel.

He eventually made his way to shore, to probably cause chaos and mayhem! They are carnivores who will eat muskrats, chipmunks, mice, rabbits, fish, snakes and frogs. 

On the far west side of Canatara, we found a couple of Opposums. One of the marsupials scampered off when he realized he had been spotted, but the other one didn't seem to mind having it's picture taken.

Eventually it also scampered off, perhaps to reconnect with it's mate. These critters are omnivores and will eat small rodents, insects, worms, slugs, snails, frogs, birds, berries and nuts.
