Muskrat Residence

100 Muskrat Residence 
Pond by the Tree 
Suburbia, Pa.

There's a pile of cattail reeds in the shape of a house on our pond. We weren't sure what it was until someone offered up "Muskrat" and nailed it. It kind of looks like a beaver dam, but it's on a pond without stream, and it looked a smidge too small. So what's it actually look like? This:



Just a pile o' sticks. We haven't seen the muskrat, and we're not sure if we will. So I took the liberty of googling it for you. They look like a mix between a beaver and an opossum.


They're a bit cute. I'll be excited to see if we can catch a glimpse of it this summer. Has anyone actually seen a muskrat?
