This muskrat is on the move! Did you know muskrats are helpful to their aquatic communities? They harvest plants for food and shelter, creating open water for ducks, geese, shorebirds, and other wildlife. In addition, many animals —including snakes, turtles, and frogs use muskrat lodges to rest and nest in. | U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
