The muskrat is a rabbit sized aquatic rodent native to North America. They have partially webbed hind feet and small able hand-like front feet with a laterally compressed tail and a waterproof coat.
Muskrats live in wetlands and are very good swimmers, using their tail for propulsion in the water. Extensive burrow systems are dug in the ground adjacent to the water with an underwater entrance.
