Upon reinspecting my resources, it does mention that they are. *** However, upon further investigation of the scientific classification, they are, in fact, not in the same family, just as grannyweasel said. Muskrats are in the Cricetidae family, and mink are in the Mustelidae family. Also, I thought it was interesting that mink prey upon the muskrat. Scientific Classification doesn't lie...Awesome stuff! Thanks again. I love feedback and more information! Keep it up!
