Missouri River Muskrat

[naturezone]

I found this muskrat along the banks of the Missouri River today. It was sitting in the warm sun and kept falling asleep... allowing me to slowly sneak up on it before it would wake up again. After playing this game for a while, I finally got close enough to take this picture before I snuck away, leaving it asleep in the grass.

Thanks for looking.

Love the picture! Here's a link to a picture I took last friday of a muskrat in a little pond just off of the Missouri river down here in Nebraska: Muskrat | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
