I once obseved a pair of muskrats engaging in what would have to be described as courtship behavior. The water was very still and the surface was glasslike. One of the Muskrats was repeatedly swimming at the surface in a wide arc around the other one. Its tail was vibrating and creating a beautiful and complex pattern on the water's surface. It was my impression that the female was the one creating the pattern, but I don't really know. I am sorry I was not in a position to shoot video of the scene as I have never seen it depicted elsewhere.
