As you visit Fresh Pond, you may notice something furry swimming in the water. This is the muskrat.

Monday Morning Muskrat: "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats... But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things." Henry David Thoreau Who knew muskrats as brave? Ranger Matt caught this one playing around behind the Boston Mill Visitor Center. (Video shows a muskrat swimming quickly beside

A curious muskrat swam all the way across the small pond to check out what I was doing. I actually missed the money shot when it popped up literally 2 feet in front of me and quickly dove back under water. #muskrat #canonR7 #canonphotography #iowa #iawx #capture_iowa #naturephotography #natgeoyourshot #natgeo #epic_wildlife #iowaoutdoors #iowaoutdoorsmagazine #epic_wildlife #thecountryspirit #your_wildlife #gettheshot #yourshotphotographer #reels #trendingreels #fyp #explorepage | Ben Neff Photo

Muskrats have a long laterally compressed tail reaching 8-12” in length which they use to help steer when swimming. Their diet consists mainly of plants, such as cattails, water lilies and pond weed but they will eat snails, fish, frog

Mr Muskrat is growing up…Did you know that they are semi-aquatic rodents known for their ability to hold their breath for up to 20 minutes, use their webbed hind feet and flattened tail for swimming, and possess waterproof fur for insulation and warmth. They mark their territory with a musky scent, and have a diet primarily of aquatic vegetation but will also eat clams and fish. They have a unique adaptation of closing their lips behind their front teeth to chew underwater and have an optional,
