Okay you critter experts...what was in my pool this morning?? It quite obviously enjoys swimming. He has been safely relocated to the creek down my street, hopefully no worse for the wear. He has webbed feet. Here are some pictures:

I'm fairly sure it's not a Knarp Rodent, so please spare me that.
Some sort of water vole?
I'm pretty sure thats a muskrat. We live by a huge canal, we have tons of them. I think their really cute! :D
Yup, I agree, seems like a muskrat to me, too.

What is the difference between a muskrat and a nutria?
Very cute. :)
Oh how cuuuuuute!!!
Thanks guys, looks like it is a muskrat! (or a nutria)
He was really cute. My mom woke me up---JESSSS there is a critter in my pool! Help!!! Thought it was a rat at first-it was hiding in the skimmer. I've never seen a muskrat before. But we do have a lot of creeks and ponds in my neighborhood, so thats probably where he came from.
Could it be a mole? We have alot of them in Florida? :)
That's what I was going to say. But I don't think they have tails.Quote:
