The fur has two layers which helps protect them from the cold water. They have long tails covered with scales and to aid them in swimming, and are slightly flattened vertically, which is a shape unique to them. Muskrats are active at night or near dawn and dusk this one was paddling in the early evening as it crossed the roadside pond in Guelph Ontario Canada. They eat aquatic vegetation and mussels, frogs, crayfish and fish.
