Description

diesen kleinen putzigen gesellen konnte ich heut nachmittag im gartenteich fotografieren. The muskrat or musquash (Ondatra zibethicus), the only species in genus Ondatra, is a medium-sized semi-aquatic rodent native to North America, and introduced in parts of Europe, Asia, and South America. The muskrat is found in wetlands and is a very successful animal over a wide range of climates and habitats. It plays an important role in nature and is a resource of food and fur for humans, as well as being an introduced species in much of its present range.

Lovely composition... you did well to get him to pose like that! Seriously though, I do like the light coming in from behind – very fresh!

These little goofs are elusive to my camera but I am always chasing after them when I'm out fishing. They love to troll the river banks. This is a great shot.

Gorgeous image! Muskrats have their own inherent cuteness and you've captured that beautifully here! I had no idea that they were introduced into such a wide range. Anyway, this is a great capture and I love the crispness/clarity of it, as well as the sense of color and motion. Fantastic work.
