They look like groundhogs or miniature, hairy manatees, but with these huge tails they can slap around at things.beckyderp !verYWoWbyI (OP) quadruple-posted this 12 years ago, 1 minute later, 4 minutes after the original post[^] [v] #483,644

This. We don't get them in the UK - we have to make do with Otters, Water vole and the occasional Mink. Oh, and newly introduced Beavers.

There was probably something wrong with it if it didn't run away. I don't see too many muskrats around here, people kill them and pretty much everything else. There are usually healthy populations at the state and city lakes though.

He was in a lake, we were on a bridge with no way to get to him. He seemed to enjoy that.
