Muskrat (Cricetidae) in Duckweed
W. Kentucky, USA - 9/14/2018
1/160 - f/8.0 - ISO 1250
Interesting Tidbit: Muskrats are excellent swimmers, thanks to their webbed back feet,
laterally flattened tails, and the ability to hold their breath underwater for 15-20 minutes.
They can swim backwards and forwards. Known to be most valuable for their fur or pelts,
muskrats are one of the most trapped animals in history. ~Havaheart~

My Jack Russell terrier gets at least one a year that isn't quite fast enough ducking back down a storm drain.
