Don’t blink or you might miss the mink 👀 Say hello to Artemis, a female albino mink and the newest addition to John Ball Zoo. She was found near Thornapple River, struggling to see and hear, with an injury on her back. Thankfully, a kind bystander and the incredible team at West Michigan Wildlife Center stepped in to help. Due to the vision and hearing challenges that often come with albinism, Artemis needed a safe, permanent home where she could thrive—and that’s where we came in. Now a part of our animal ambassador* program, Artemis has the opportunity to further educate the public about the unique traits of albinism and be an ambassador for her species. 🤍 *Currently, there is no set schedule of when guests can see Artemis. Stay tuned for further updates.
