Simply delighted to see our Minks of Princeton promulgated by WILD NJ -- it's such a miracle that these priceless truly wild ones live in water in a nearby corporate setting. Isn't it grand when Mother Nature is paramount, especially in our beautiful New Jersey. Thank you for ALL you DO for NATURE.
