Sharing



This Canada goose decided to nest upon a muskrat lodge. The muskrat doesn't seem to mind too much; but sometimes they do like to nap and sun themselves on top of their lodge.

Nice shot! BTW; is a muskrat the same thing as a beaver?

Beaver are 2 to 3 times larger than muskrats and build their lodges out of tree limbs. Muskrats are 9-12" with a 7-12" long pointed tail. The beaver tail is 12-18" and is paddle-shaped. Muskrats build their lodges out of cattails.
