Keep Your Eyes Open!
If you keep your eyes open you may get lucky and find a round-tailed muskrat! These little brown balls of fluff are very common in Northeast Georgia. They have very small ears, tiny padded front feet, and webbed rear feet. They are commonly spotted near marshes and swamp-like terrain.They feed off of aquatic grasses, nuts, and berries. This threatened species is very low on the food chain; all predator birds and most mammals love to feast off this large rodent.
