In this episode of On the Nature Trail, we take a quiet, snowy walk along a frozen New Hampshire pond, seeking out the subtle winter signs of the muskrat. We observe the tell-tale muskrat lodge and discuss how these hardworking, semi-aquatic rodents survive the deep freeze without hibernating. Learn the specialized traits that allow them to feed underwater on their favorite plants and how their unique, vertically flat tails function like a rudder. We imagine the industrious and silent world of the muskrat happening just beneath the ice until spring.
