Muskrat
Why did the cookie go to the hospital?
He felt crummy!
Interesting Fact: Muskrats are most active at night or near dawn and dusk. They feed on cattails and other aquatic vegetation. They do not store food for the winter, but sometimes eat the insides of their push-ups. While they may appear to steal food beavers have stored, more seemingly cooperative partnerships with beavers exist, as featured in the BBC David Attenborough wildlife documentary The Life of Mammals.[22][23] Plant materials compose about 95% of their diets, but they also eat small animals, such as freshwater mussels, frogs, crayfish, fish, and small turtles.[5][6] Muskrats follow trails they make in swamps and ponds. When the water freezes, they continue to follow their trails under the ice. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskrat#Behavior )

I grew up in an area with muskrats. They are cute and busy creatures
That is so awesome I don’t always see them but when I do come across them it’s a treat. Thank you for shopping by and checking out my work .
Huh! I saw my first muskrats just a few years ago. I thought it was a small beaver, but the tail was wrong. Someone had to clue me in. Since I was raised in a desert, it was not a familiar animal to me. I was lucky to be visiting a small pond. A beaver claimed the pond next to it.
Thats is really awesome. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your experience with us. Happy Blogging! 😃
