Who would win a polecat or a mink?
Depends on type of polecat or mink you use. American Mink vs European Polecat: Mink for sure, it's larger and more aggressive. Not to mention, being an invasive species to the U.K. (where I live). The mink is also a swimmer, meaning if it took place in water, the mink trumps it. The mink is also considerably more slender, despite it's size advantage. European Polecat vs European Mink: This could go either way, I'm slightly leaning towards the mink though, again, because of it's possible agility because of it's slenderness. American Mink vs Steppe Polecat: This could go either way, again, but I'm slightly leaning towards the Polecat. It should be larger and heavier. European Mink vs Steppe Polecat: Polecat wins. It's larger, heavier and more powerful.
