We stopped off at some sea caves in Alaska while sailing on S/V BOB and this little guy came running out to see who was visiting his remote home. American mink (Neovison vison) such as this one were once hunted extensively for their fur.

A Blue Flyer or female Red Kangaroo (Macropus rufus). Unlike the predominantly red males the females have blue-grey fur. Amazingly female red kangaroos are usually permanently pregnant, except on the day they gives birth. They have the ability to freeze the development of an embryo until the previous joey has permanently left the pouch which occurs after about 235 days. The ability to halt development of a fertilised egg is known as diapause, and evolved in response to the extremely variable climatic cycles of the Australian outback.
