Test driving a new camera Panasonic lumix dmc-tz3. Not 100 percent sold on this. The Muskrat is part of a family I’m taking the effort to protect the wetland that they created. The family has two adults and two pups about four months old. I see them alot on a little island in there pond usualy one hour before sunset. The problem is the area has had about 30 years of dumping in it and has alot of clean up to do. All Sales of the muskrats photos will go to cleaning up there wetland area.

Third in the muskrat series showing one of the adults. I’m having trouble getting shots of the two young pups because my daughter is a loud nature lover and has not gotten over the excitment of having new animals in the pond. Lucky for the Muskrats they stay on a island away from the kids and the pond bottom is black clay. So any one trying to get to them sink two feet in oily mud before getting to the waters edge. This photo was taken with a nicon coolpix 4800 4 mega pixel camera

I found this Muskrat just enjoying himself in the Grand River flowing through Ella Sharp . He did not seem to have any cares and was enjoying a warm spring day.

this little water rodent was the cuttest thing I have ever seen, and the 1st Muskrat I have ever seen! He was so busy diving down to the roots of the plants under water, then coming up with a mouth full, finding a sunny spot to eat his treasure, then do it all over again! If he knew I was there he made no attempt to flee…...I guess those roots were quite the delicacey!! taken at Sprague Lake, Rocky Mtn. Nat’l Park / 10-13-08

“The Muskrat” was featured in the group “Urban Wildlife” on 1 March 2009. .......was featured in Mangroves, Marshes and Mudflats on 4 April 2009 ! This muskrat came out from under the ice several times. I waited patiently to see if he would stay on the shore but every time he saw me he disappeared under the ice. This was the best closeup I could get. Muskrats are covered with short, thick fur which is medium to dark brown in color with the belly a bit lighter. The fur has two layers, which helps protect them from the cold water. They have long tails which are covered with scales rather than hair and are flattened vertically to aid them in swimming. When they walk on land the tail drags on the ground, which makes their tracks easy to recognize. Muskrats spend much of their time in the water and are well suited for their semi-aquatic life, both in and out of water. Muskrats can swim under water for up to 15 minutes. Their bodies, like those of seals and whales, are less sensitive to the build up of carbon dioxide than those of most other mammals. They can close off their ears to keep the water out. Their hind feet are semi-webbed, although in swimming the tail is their main means of propulsion.

For years I had one muskrat along the stream in front of my house in Fairview Twp (New Cumberland) Pennsylvania. Then he found a girlfriend. They reproduced all summer long. At one point I had over 2 dozen muskrats here. It was bordering on creepy! Every time I looked out there’d be more and more in the yard. At the beginning of last summer I saw a mink skulking about and must have affected my muskrat population. I rarely see the one that remains. / Note the one on the left has a piece of corn in his nose! And aren’t their pink claws freaky!

AS IS / Canon EOS XI MUSKRAT LOVE by Captain and Tenille / A muskrat coming out in the spring as they hibernate during the Winter. / / Muskrats live in marshy wetlands such as rivers, ponds and streams. They are found throughout most of Canada, The United States and part of Mexico. Interestingly enough a Muskrat can close off their ears and stay under water for up to 15 minutes.(Voelker 1986). The Muskrat’s name comes from the two scent glands which are found near its tail; these sccent glands give off a musky odour which the muskrat uses to mark its territory. (Caras 1967, Nowak 1983) / Sources and more information at http:// www.wikipedia.org / “Wikipedia” and “http://www.hww.ca/” “Hinterland Who’s Who”

This shot of a muskrat, feeding on weeds, was taken on a lake on the Grand Mesa in Western Colorado, USA. The Grand Mesa is the worlds largest flat top mountain and has over 250 lakes. The altitude is approximately 12000 feet. / I spotted this muskrat feeding on a log at the edge of a lake, during the late afternoon. Usually they swim away when startled, but I was able to approach this one and take a number of shots. Muskrats live in dome shapped lodges similar to beavers, but unlike beavers there may be many inhabiting the same lake. / Although a very common animal, I was still thrilled to observe and photograph this muskrat, as it fed in its natural environment.

A muskrat takes advantage of warm autumn weather to enjoy feeding on underwater plants in the sunshine! / The muskrat is a medium-sized semi-aquatic rodent native to North America, and introduced in parts of Europe, Asia, and South America. The muskrat is found in wetlands and is a very successful animal over a wide range of climates and habitats. It plays an important role in nature and is a resource of food and fur for humans, as well as being an introduced species in much of its present range. / This one was taken along the banks of the Swift Current Creek in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada
