Muskrat

Are muskrats easy to see in America? I’d love to see one when I visit California/ Texas (whenever that may be)

Quite nice to see one in the wild. @Great Argus where was this?

@pangolin12 Usually, if you're looking in the right habitat around dawn or dusk.

@Arizona Docent This one was in the pond next to my house. I see Muskrat with some regularity in my area, I know around 10 places with a fair chance of seeing one!

I had an experience with a muskrat, just last week, I got to see it in a similar situation as this, gnawing away at water foliage. I was about to whip out my camera (which luckily I had on me) and sadly, One of the people around me Sneezed, and It scared the Muskrat and it dived for it. I was honestly really disappointed, since I never have been able to take a photo of this species. Oh well, can't blame someone for sneezing.

Muskrats always seem to escape me!

@Fignewton They do, don't they?

@Fignewton Quite a few people seem to have trouble seeing Muskrat, for whatever reason. I've never had much trouble finding them so I guess I'm lucky!
