Muskrat
Muskrat: I seek out these semi-aquatic rodents in their wetland homes. I photograph their swimming abilities and their construction of lodges. Their adaptability to various water sources intrigues me. I explore marshes, ponds, and rivers, aiming to capture their role in shaping aquatic environments. I document their feeding habits and their importance as a part of the ecosystem.
