"I'm not a beaver!" When they are in the water, it's easy to see why people mistake muskrats for beavers. Both are semi-aquatic rodents that are brown and furry. Once out of the water, you can spot the differences between the two species. Muskrat: Skinny tail. Smaller in size (adults weigh around 4 pounds). Pointy face. Good at scritches. Beaver: Big flat tail. Much larger (adults weigh between 30 - 60 pounds). Probably also good at scritches. Video by K. Theule/ USFWS Video description: A small

A mink stalking a muskrat at the beaver lodge. As I have mentioned before, it is common for beavers to share their lodge with muskrats in the winter time. Mink are the main predators for muskrats around here. Last week at Georgette’s lodge, I noticed a mink on the food cache, and a muskrat nearby. The muskrat swam around and then ducked into the lodge, and a moment later, the mink was examining the shore where the muskrat had gone. Thankfully, I did not see the mink succeed in catching a muskrat
