Mystery animal
I encountered this animal on my way to work yesterday (in Malmö, Sweden) - I think it's related to a ferret as it moves and looks the same way, but I am not sure what sort of animal it is. Can anyone identify it?
There are two more images at it here and here.
Update: Some of facebook friends identified it as a mink. It doesn't appear to be native to Sweden, so it has probably been released at some stage.

An otter, maybe?
I was considering an otter, but it seemed too ferret like - then again, having never seen an otter in real life, how would I be able to tell?
See update
Introduced American mink, actually. They were originally released/escaped from fur farms but they also breed in the wild now.
