Vison d’Amérique (Neovison vison), reconnaissable à son pelage brun foncé et sa posture alerte. Espèce semi-aquatique, agile chasseuse de poissons et d’amphibiens.

This is an American mink, a harmful invasive species in Finland. It preys on the eggs of many water birds, which haven’t naturally evolved defenses against such a predator in the Finnish archipelago. To control its population, mink hunting is actively encouraged.
I took this photo in the Turku archipelago a couple of years ago. The mink was playing on the ice, rolling in the snow, climbing on the rocks, and diving into a hole it had made in the ice. Despite being an invasive species, it’s undeniably an adorable animal.

If it weren't for the fact that american mink are a non-native invasive species destroying the local wildlife, I'd find them rather elegant and fuzzy...

First time of seeing one in the wild myself. Impressed at just how close we got (about 15' across a water channel).
