Yes it’s a well kept secret, they still have Velociraptors in Wyoming. But no one besides Kanye West knows since no one ever visits, and no one ever leaves.

Muskrats (Ondatra zybethicus) is a major component of cattail, bulrushes, willows, rushes, and other wetland form of Vegetative Associations that collectively make up Freshwater habitat types and along with beaver are known to protect and defend their territories. Rasing young when Springs floods, snowmelts, increases in ppt of various forms relevant to site and propensity to flow elsewhere, freshwater habitats stem from various Riparian and Wetland specialists including these two species. Muskrat activities make use of local Floral attributes to maintain and foster their offspring as summer's primary production comes into full glory. Water levels crucial to maintain productivity do result form co-evolving traits, attributes, and life-styles that create a mantage of Diversity.
We have them in Binghamton NY!!!
Beavers and muskrats are not cousins, they are not in the same family or suborder, beavers are in the family Castoridae which is part of the suborder Sciuromorpha, whilst muskrats are the largest rodents belonging to the hamster family, which is part of Myomorpha, beavers are more closely related to squirrels while muskrats are more closely related to hamsters and lemmings.

@@indyreno2933 I’m saying that beaver is a rodent like they’re from the same family and I never said that they’re related
Rodents are not a family they are an order, which is why it is more correct to say "the order Rodentia" instead of "the rodent family", because not all rodents are related, muskrats belong to the family Cricetidae along with hamsters, lemmings, and voles, which is part of the suborder Myomorpha (Mouse-Like Rodents), while beavers are rodents that form the family Castoridae, which is part of the suborder Sciuromorpha (Squirrel-Like Rodents), beavers are more closely related to squirrels, gophers, heteromyids, springhares, and dormice than they are to muskrats, the similarities of muskrats with beavers is an example of convergent evolution.
@@indyreno2933 read my comment again rodent being a family is not my point tho
Buddy, you're faaaar too serious to announce such IMPORTANT NEWS. 3 LITTERS OF 6 BABIES IN ONE SUMMER ????
The second video clip shown shows Coypu instead of Muskrat...
Lol this guy is classy)))) that hand on his side haha
milton is a swell guy by the way, you can tell
it is my dream to visit Wyoming!
The "Nature of Wyoming" and you feature an oil rig ? Really ?
G Man Tyler it sure is beautiful
Pumpjacks are used to harvest oil without disturbing to much of the surrounding area.
Th eres no way you will convince me a pumpjack is part of nature. I have just as much desire to see a pumpjack in nature as I do the covid virus.
Further, the pumpjack have done nothing for the state,( Wyoming is one of the poorest states), but I'm sure it made a select few rich while everyone else is in poverty.

I was joking, I forgot the sarcasm typing.
Wow very amazing!
Today I was about to go kayaking and a muskrat was in my kayak and I freaked
Just seen one in Northern NJ
Great Content! We live in the Foot hills outside of Seattle Washington, by about 57 ml. Our dog Just killed one of these in our yard,....I thought it was a Nutria, but, the TAIL, it's rat like,however, it has that Ridge,I'm assuming ,for swimming, & I See that on your video of the Muskrat! So Thank you for Educational Videos,like this one! ❤ I'm Oooold ,but still like to learn,...NOW...I have to Go tell my husband,...He was Right & I was Wrong...
I found one of these guys near my house all the way in Indiana.
I just saw an enormous musrak, though it maa have been a beaver. Aren't beaver coats more short and oily?
What did the tail look like? Did you catch sight of it? If it’s a rat’s tail, then you saw a nutria, which is pretty much a larger version of the muskrat.
@@madisonspringer7476 It was dark out and I couldn't get a good look at the tail. I heard my dog growling right next to the lake and when I walked up he was having a face off with it just a couple feet apart. They got into a really quick scuffle and it finally retreated back into the lake. I was just glad no one got hurt! The main thing I remember was its impressive size and reddish/auburn coat. Definitely had to be a beaver or a nutria, unfortunately I could not see the tell 'tail' sign. Thanks for the input!
@@big3ye378 Yep! If it’s a reddish-auburn coat, then you most likely saw a beaver.
Thank you...
That's enough information, I just sow it in 7 lakes NY swimming & I thought it was a beaver...¤▪☆○•°~`♡😙😉
Muskrat love.
Who else is here to see what a muskrat is after seeing the video of a guy fishing one out of water
Raptors?
Ay that's me!
Elon Muskrat
Does Muskrat bad? Why is there a muskrat hunting?
Dense Population maybe

hey I'm from Florida, I'm wondering, are there any swamps, alligators, or palm trees in Wyoming?
+Thomas Halpin Nope, Wyoming is pretty dry. Lots of sagebrush plains and forests. We have some streams, rivers, and wetlands; they mostly have willows, cottonwoods, birds, some small mammals, and deer.
Thanks for replying. Whats it like in a city like Cheyenne or Casper? Is it warm like a desert or very cold? You said its dry, is it more like a desert place or arid?
Just Googled the climate of Wyoming. Yikes! How do y'all stand such cold weather? Nonetheless, there seem to be some cool places there, like Jefrrey City and Buford. Definately would be a change from the tropical metropolises Florida has
Anyway, cool video, I liked and subscribed
Thomas Halpin
It's like anywhere, you just get used to the climate. We do get some cold weather, but lots of sun and no humidity. Certainly worth a visit if you ever get a chance. Glad you like the videos and thanks for subscribing.
Mink? Aren't they smaller?
What if they are? Weasels can kill rabbits and they're about a quarter the size of a rabbit.
Came from Joseph carter the mink man.
Muskrats = beavers × rats ?
They only live one year?! Geez, Gid is cruel.
In the wild...
But they can live 3 to 4 years...
Even up to 10!
How the fuck are Raptors one of their predators 😂
pike and muskie like eat them to
Stop sending me your dam ads,I'd call you if I needed your service,this is my phone not yours.
I'm pretty sure that's a beaver
Jialety Koskodtoya I’m pretty sure you’re stupid
@@deathsmelody9452. I'm pretty sure it's a Joke
Fallensky The Musk Deer hard to tell
It was INDEED a Joke!
Good work! @Fallensky The Musk Deer
Enjoy: ruclips.net/video/WGejyJg61wM/видео.html&t=1605
interesting facts trapped in past all gone now state pa very few around no one knows why
they look like the beta version of beavers
Except beavers and muskrats are not related, beavers are in the family Castoridae, while muskrats are part of the hamster family, they only share similarities due to convergent evolution.
Too bad minks dont eat ferrel hogs.
Why the called musk? I mean like musk perfume
