Imagine a tiny, wet, chocolate-covered burrito that has suddenly gained sentience and a deep sense of moral superiority. That is the creature before us. It is sitting on a pile of gray rocks next to some murky, pea-soup-colored water, looking like it just heard someone mispronounce an expensive cheese. The mink is sitting completely upright on its hindquarters, elongating its body like an over-stretched brown tube sock. It is looking off to the left with an expression of pure, unadulterated judgment. Its chin is slightly elevated, giving it the distinct aura of a wealthy aristocrat looking down at a peasant who just dropped a tray of hors d'oeuvres. It is sporting a coat of slick, dark-brown, waterproof fur that looks incredibly expensive, highly glossy, and slightly damp. It features a tiny, subtle white patch right under its chin—essential for that "I forgot to wipe away the cream cheese from my bagel" look. It is perched precariously on some jagged, sun-bleached limestone rocks. The water behind it is a dark, stagnant olive green, proving that you can look like a runway model even when your immediate surroundings smell like decaying pond weeds.
