A Muskrat swimming in Cambridge Creek


If you like nature and you like the muskrat, you might want go and look at some streams and safe canals because that's where they like to live. The muskrat and the beaver are from the same family. They walk on four legs like most mammals do. The muskrat has little hairs that are waterproof, and the hair that is called protective guard hair is long and brown. The muskrat has webbed feet for swimming. They burrow in the banks of a river or in marshes. Their presence in marshes may be detected by the conical houses, 2 - 3 ft. (61 - 91 cm) above water, which are built of marsh vegetation.
