Thoughts?

Looks like otter. I thought mink were much smaller or am I mixing them up with something else?
I'd say the otter are making their presence known on this lake. They have been spotted all over, although the ones I saw in Meredith could have traveled over to Black Cat.
I just googled a mink and they are about 2 feet long, much smaller then a beaver or otter, otters range from 2-6 feet in length.
I wonder if the fox will now take the bridge over to the island. Several of us have seen a fox traveling over to the house next to the one I'm working on this winter.
