Nice shot! A boxing muskrat!

Yes, it looks like boxing, Jeff, but it is in fact preening
and it is not a muskrat but a nutria — much bigger.

We have those here as well, but muskrat sounds better, even if it really isn't. We also have beavers.

Nutrias and muskrats maybe but beavers… down in Texas? C'mon!

They are actually in abundance down here. We have a beaver pond along our trail. I don't get up early enough to get shots of them though. Castor Canadensis and the Canadian Geese are infiltrating the state! Haven't spotted any Moosen, though.

Interesting critter! And nice photo.

Normally it's just humans that want to punch you, but beavers? What did you say to upset him?! Nice shot!

First, it is not a beaver… as established along the thread.
Second, the left leg is scratching the right making look like it is boxing.
It is not upset but preening.

Ever see the movie, "Stripes"? You remind me of Francis.
