How fast can muskrats run?

Answer 1

Muskrats are not particularly known for their speed on land, as they are primarily aquatic animals. They can run at speeds of about 3 to 4 miles per hour (4.8 to 6.4 kilometers per hour) when needed. However, they are more agile in water, where they can swim swiftly to evade predators and navigate their environments. Their adaptations make them more suited for swimming than for running.
