Muskrat Munchies - The Aquatic Acrobat with a Reed Obsession!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the incredible talent and quirky eating habits of CAN-2151, the muskrat extraordinaire. Hailing from the marshes and edges of ponds, lakes, and streams in New York's wild landscapes, this little critter knows how to make a statement. With its teeth firmly clamped around a reed like it's biting into the juiciest burger in town, our muskrat friend proves that even aquatic creatures have their own version of fast food! Who needs fries when you can nibble on delicious aquatic vegetation? But don't be fooled by its seemingly innocent appetite for greens; this versatile rodent is not afraid to diversify its menu. Clams? Frogs? Fish? You name it – if it catches CAN-2151's fancy, it might just end up as an unexpected snack! When not busy satisfying its taste buds or exploring overland during autumn strolls (yes, they do that too!), our furry friend takes pride in building cozy houses in shallow water or burrowing into riverbanks. Talk about being resourceful! So next time you're out enjoying nature's wonders near New York City, keep an eye out for these valuable fur animals. And remember: while commercial use may be off-limits here, appreciating John Cancalosi's stunning photography is always encouraged!
