MUSKRATTED!

What we have here is a Muskrat. For those unfamiliar with Canadian (and I imagine US) wildlife, it is about the size of a small cat, has a long slender tail, and is closely related to Canada's beloved beaver.
I stumbled across this fella while on an ice-fishing excursion and managed to walk beside him for about 10 minutes as he waddled along the bank of the frozen lake. At times I was less than 2m away from him but he just kept on waddling. If only all subjects were this accomodating. Posted by Picasa
