The mating game



This morning I noticed a muskrat standing outside one of the muskrat lodges at the marsh. After I took this shot, it slipped into the water behind the lodge, and then emerged chasing a second muskrat. At first I couldn't figure out what he was up to, but it wasn't long before I was enlightened. He was after a she, and you might say 'mission accomplished'. Perhaps in the first shot he was inviting her to come out and play??
