Muskrats are rodents, much smaller than beavers (a vegetarian) and have laterally flattened tails for propulsion and cooling themselves. Muskrats produce musk, a greasy secretion with a powerful odor produced in a glandular sac located on the lower abdomen. They have two pairs of gnawing teeth, one pair on each jaw, which grows continuously and therefore they constantly need to gnaw to keep the edge of these teeth sharp like a chisel. Their teeth project past its lips so it can gnaw and swallow underwater without choking. They have two-layer coating of fur, dense undercoat and coarse guard hairs to keep them warm. They build high dome-shaped lodge made of roots and stems of aquatic plants with a mixture of mud.
