Animal Description

About the Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus)

The muskrat is a medium-sized, semi-aquatic rodent native to North America and can be found in a wide variety of wetland habitats worldwide. The muskrat is typically about 15-30 inches long, though half of that measurement is its tail. Its fur is medium to dark brown in color (sometimes jet-black), though the underbelly is lighter, often grey. The fur itself is similar to that of an otter. At the same time, their biology has similarities to seals or whales, allowing them to swim underwater for upwards of 15-17 minutes, where they hunt for small fish, crayfish, and other delicious bottom feeders.
