There’s a small lake near my apartment that now seems to be invaded by these giant rats called muskrats.

Just a few years ago you had to really hunt for them. But now they are all over the place.

I’m sure they love the lake. It’s their haven.

There are many mallard ducks there too.

This time of the year, in the fall, they seem to like to show themselves. You see them swimming, and you also see them sitting on the newly frozen ice. They are always chewing on something they find in the murky water.
