People in Belgium eat Muskrat by the way, only they have changed the name in waterrabbit .

Holy cow,,?? nooooo,,holy Muskrat : )

[2stroketurbo]

@GoliathAngelus .........Yummmy! I guess. hahaha

[GoliathAngelus]

@2stroketurbo Never tried it but i have heard that they taste like rabbit. : )

[TJWatson59]

Muskrat = Groundhog = Woodchuck = Land-beaver = Marmota Monax = Same animal. ( Just dont let them try to mate with your little Subarus! )

[Seattlecarnut]

I've never seen one up close and personal.

[ramseyst42]

We call'em muskrats where I come from.

[geminate]

There are nutrias on the coast too. They are rarely seen though. I'm glad to see you caught them on tape.

[2stroketurbo]

I've only heard of Nutrias in the east. Muskrat looks very similar.

[usaharleydog]

[locostbamboo]

My wife picked it! Muskrats! Good camera work!

[GoliathAngelus]

They are Muskrats for sure!!

Friendly animals but not for the dyks,they make holes in it.

They look indeed like beavers when you don t know better but there there are differences between them.

Beavers have a pointy snout flat tail and vins on there back legs and Muskrats have a round tail and a slightly larger head.

[Kbrusky15]

Dear God if there are Nutria this far north... we are screwed... you need to call animal control asap they have already taken over the south USA

[PGHMEDIA]

[MichaelWVaught]
