There are two living species referred to as minks: the American mink and the European mink. The extinct sea mink is related to the American mink, but was much larger. All three species are dark-colored, semiaquatic, carnivorous mammals of the family Mustelidae, which also includes weasels, otters and ferrets. The American mink is larger and more adaptable than the European mink. Due to variations in size, an individual mink usually cannot be determined as European or American with certainty without looking at the skeleton.

NASCAR Cup race won't have 43 cars at Kentucky Speedway. SPARTA, Ky. â Ask any fan how many drivers are in a NASCAR race and they'll immediately answer: 43. It's been that way since 1998, when NASCAR standardized the field size for each race after it previously fluctuated based on the track. But that won't be the case Saturday night at Kentucky Speedway. For the first time since the 2001 New Hampshire Motor Speedway race was moved because of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, there will be only 42 cars to start the Quaker State 400. NASCAR, though, doesn't believe a smaller field is an indictment of the sport's health.
