Muskrats are found over most of Canada and the United States and a small part of northern Mexico. They mostly inhabit wetlands, areas in or near salt and fresh-water marshlands, rivers, lakes, or ponds. They are not found in the state of Florida where the round-tailed muskrat, or Florida water rat, (Neofiber alleni) takes their place.[2]
Muskrats continue to thrive in most of their native habitat and in areas where they have been introduced. While much wetland habitat has been eliminated due to human activity, new muskrat habitat has been created by the construction of canals or irrigation channels and the muskrat remains common and widespread. They are able to live alongside streams which contain the sulfurous water that drains away from coal mines. Fish and frogs perish in such streams, yet muskrats may thrive and occupy the wetlands. Muskrats also benefit from human persecution of some of their predators.[3]
They live near ponds, lakes, and streams.

Muskrats depend on rivers and wetlands for food. They play an important role in wetland ecosystems where they are native. They are not adapted to deserts, and do not live in deserts.
Muskrats live in wetlends, and humans are taking that away from them. But the upsides of this are taht humans are also building canals and irrigation channels, and muskrats may live there. Their conservation status *Population* isn't in any threat though.
