Shot these last Summer with the 70-200 f/4, it wasn't easy as these animals are very vigilant and hide from humans.

Way to Go! These are rare to be seem.

Good hunting

Wow, swimming rats! You guys have some wierd creatures over there! I suppose you might say the same about our giant 2 legged rats that hop around over here...

I really admire all your wildlife shots, John... shows a lot of patience and dedication. Great stuff!

i really like your photos . They keep telling me to get out in the woods and take some photos. Never thoguht about taking pictures of a muskrat, great shots .

Anybody got any platypus photos? Now THAT would be a challenge, one of the few animals I've never seen out on my bushwalks.

I can't beleive I'm saying this, but that rat actually looks sorta cute nice photos

Some of you might have the wrong idea about what a muskrat actually is. Because Janika chose to hyphenate the name you might think it is of the rat family. They are from the beaver family.

Believe it or not, I still don't have a decent Raccoon or Skunk shot, nor a beaver, but I've seen a water-rat last Summer and I had no camera on me. Water rats are smaller than Musk-rats and they don't have the long tail. They also move slower. Thanx for the comments, Pls stand by, More to come.
