Muskrat - The Master of Aquatic Hide and Seek!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by John Cancalosi, we catch a glimpse of the elusive CAN-2149, also known as the Muskrat. This extraordinary creature is an expert in water-based living, thriving in marshes, ponds, lakes, and streams across New York's picturesque landscapes. With its sleek body gracefully gliding through the water, it's no wonder why the Muskrat is considered one of nature's finest swimmers. But don't be fooled by its aquatic prowess! As autumn arrives and overland adventures beckon, these furry friends can be spotted exploring new territories with their adorable waddling gait. Feasting on a delectable meal of aquatic vegetation held delicately in its mouth, our muskrat friend proves that variety truly is the spice of life. From clams to frogs and even fish on occasion – this culinary connoisseur knows how to keep its taste buds entertained! But what truly sets this remarkable mammal apart is its architectural genius. Building cozy houses in shallow waters or burrowing into riverbanks like true real estate moguls; each dwelling accommodates only one family - talk about exclusive waterfront property! Not just another pretty face (or fur), our muskrat pal holds great value as one of nature's most prized fur animals. However, let us not forget that all creatures deserve admiration for their unique qualities beyond commercial use. So next time you find yourself near
