Proud Mom - Muskrat adult and baby - a photo on Flickriver

            This photograph of an adult and juvenile muskrat was taken in the in countryside in Alberta, Canada. I was lucky they both were facing the camera as the sun was going down.

Baby muskrats are called kits. At 30 days old, kits can swim, dive and feed themselves. Kits are fully grown at six weeks and typically stay with their family, unless there is overcrowding. In this case, the mother will often kick the young out of the group.
