Musk Rats at Twin Lakes - 13th July

A new mammal species for me, a family of Musk Rats in the large lake at Twin Lakes.

My first sighting was of a single animal swimming in open water. Much too small to be a beaver, but few details to go on...


Later, on the other side of the small bay I spotted one in the shallow water amongst the floating vegetation.
It soon became obvious that there were several animals involved. Eventually I counted 5 of them...
They spent most of their time in the water, only occasionally coming out
