Polecat–mink

A polecat–mink hybrid is a cross between a European polecat and a European mink. Furriers call them Khor-tumak, and fanciers call them khonorik. Interbreeding between European minks is extremely difficult to achieve, and it usually occurs only when the European mink population declines.
