Double Trouble - Muskrats on a Munching Mission!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by the talented photographer John Cancalosi, we witness an adorable duo of muskrats engaging in their favorite pastime - feasting by the water's edge. These mischievous critters, known as CAN-2330s or muskrats (Ondatra zibethica), are native to the marshes and ponds of New York, USA. With their sleek fur glistening under the warm sunlight, these aquatic acrobats showcase their incredible adaptability. Not only do they gracefully glide through water like synchronized swimmers but also venture onto land during autumn expeditions. Talk about multitasking! Their menu is equally diverse and intriguing. While they primarily indulge in delectable aquatic vegetation, these culinary connoisseurs occasionally savor clams, frogs, and even fish! It seems that no delicacy can escape their discerning palates. But it doesn't stop there! These industrious creatures are skilled architects too. They construct cozy houses right in shallow waters or burrow into riverbanks for added comfort and security. And guess what? Each house accommodates one family only – talk about exclusive real estate! As one of North America's most valuable fur animals (not that we condone commercial use!), muskrats hold a special place in our hearts and ecosystems alike. So next time you stumble upon a pond or stream while exploring nature's wonders, keep your eyes peeled
