"I'm not a beaver!" When they are in the water, it's easy to see why people mistake muskrats for beavers. Both are semi-aquatic rodents that are brown and furry. Once out of the water, you can spot the differences between the two species. Muskrat: Skinny tail. Smaller in size (adults weigh around 4 pounds). Pointy face. Good at scritches. Beaver: Big flat tail. Much larger (adults weigh between 30 - 60 pounds). Probably also good at scritches. Video by K. Theule/ USFWS Video description: A small

This Muskrat was spotted at Allegany State Park feeding at the big platform of the new wetland boardwalk. Muskrats are smaller than beavers but they prefer the same wetland habitat and are excellent swimmers, capable of staying underwater for 15 minutes at a time. Muskrats have a long laterally compressed tail reaching 8-12” in length which they use to help steer when swimming. Their diet consists mainly of plants, such as cattails, water lilies and pond weed but they will eat snails, fish, frog

This was our first time ever seeing a muskrat at our sanctuary! We didn’t even know we had them in our area. But it makes sense with our pond! Muskrats will make burrows in water banks. With all the recent rain our pond level is above usual so he may have gotten flooded out! As with all animals that cross our path, we try to do our best by them. We will send this guy over to a wildlife rescue to see if them can help him out, hopefully they can and when he recovers he will be released in the wild

Mr Muskrat is growing up…Did you know that they are semi-aquatic rodents known for their ability to hold their breath for up to 20 minutes, use their webbed hind feet and flattened tail for swimming, and possess waterproof fur for insulation and warmth. They mark their territory with a musky scent, and have a diet primarily of aquatic vegetation but will also eat clams and fish. They have a unique adaptation of closing their lips behind their front teeth to chew underwater and have an optional,
