Muskrat Sally

I saw a muskrat yesterday on my bike ride through Fort Snelling park. At first I thought it was a beaver. Then I thought it was a rat. Turns out its a muskrat.

It was gorging itself on greens and stuffing them into his cheek pouches.

It perplexed me:

And amazed me:

Then it pooped. I’m not sure if it was healthy or not. It didn’t seem to hear, smell, or see me. It ran when I blew on its silky fur and fell over a couple of times. I know that it is a water rat, so maybe it didn’t have its land legs.

Nature is neat.

  1. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but that was actually a small bear. Jeez! Get your nature right.

  2. Or maybe a cockroach?
