Enter the wetland habitats of North America with the "Muskrat" coloring category. Muskrats are semi-aquatic rodents known for their webbed hind feet, waterproof fur, and cylindrical tails. They have a stocky body, short legs, and a blunt snout. Muskrats are excellent swimmers and spend much of their time in water, where they build lodges or burrows for shelter. They are herbivores, feeding on aquatic plants, roots, and cattails. Muskrats play important roles in wetland ecosystems by creating habitats and influencing vegetation dynamics. Did you know that muskrats can close their ears and nostrils while underwater? Immerse yourself in the world of muskrats and let your colors depict their aquatic lifestyle and their vital contributions to marshland environments.
