trap them,,, consult your local FSA office for your local federal trapper.
No the muskrat is not native to india, but it is native to North America and has been introduce to many countries including Europe, India, and South America
In terms of recognizing these animals by sight, woodchucks dwell primarily on land and have small stubby tails, whereas muskrats, which are smaller than woodchucks, have long, rat-like tails and spend most of their time in the water.
Nopee, but i don't think it's like they hate each other. :) Hope i helped!
Muskrats provide an important food resource for many other animals including minks, foxes, coyotes, wolves, lynx, bears, eagles,, snakes, alligators,, and large owls and hawks. Otters, snapping turtles, and large fish such as pike prey on baby muskrats.
Yes. Minks are opportunistic predators, and the eggs of birds are on the menu.
No, a decomposer a living thing that eats detritus, or decomposing plants and animals, but scavengers are animals that feed on carrion, or parts of dead animals. Decomposers break down organisms, but scavengers do not.
A beaver lodge's its home. A beaver dam slows the water down.
A muskrat looks something like a cross between a gopher and a beaver. They are cute if you like rodents.
If you click on the related link below for a photo, you will understand WHY "The Captain and Tenille" had such a great pop-tune hit with "Muskrat Love".
Muskrats eat mostly water plants, but also prey on freshwater mussels, other invertebrates, and small fish that they grasp with their forepaws and teeth.
Yes they do, we can often hear them hitting the roof of the house.
Yes muskrats can attack humans. For example, today I was walking with a friend, and saw what looked like a little beaver, lo and behold, it was a muskrat. So I jumped down in the gardened area it was in, to get a little closer. The next thing I knew, it was charging at me, and proceeded to jump at my legs- if it wasn't for my quick reflexes, I could have lost a limb- or worse, ripped my jeans! :S
For the furtherance of your muskrat knowledge- they can, and do attack.
The American Mink is not classified as endangered, however, the Everglades mink (Mustela vison evergladensis), is an endangered subspecies, and is endemic to the Florida Everglades.
Muskrats eat what plants are available in their habitat, including cattail roots, lily roots and stems. When plants aren't available they will eat whatever is available, whether it be fish or small animals.
