Kouchibouguac National Park of Canada

The Mink Frog (Rana septentrionalis) is one of the many amphibian species that occur in Kouchibouguac. It is able to protect itself in part from predators by releasing a strong, "skunky" smell when in danger, which is also of the smell that most other mustelids such as minks give off, hence its name.
