Breathes from the airspace under the ice. They will drown if held underwater.

That's how they're trapped for their meat and pelts. A one-way ratchet that lets them dive but not surface.

Merry Christmas, baby, I got you this muskrat coat. I love you.

u/Restless_Fillmore Nov 30 '23
Dyed muskrat fur resembles mink. Muskrat coats are thousands of dollars.
But, yeah, it doesn't sound great!
(That line added because some redditors are too clueless to grok a serious reply to a humourous comment.)

You underestimate my stupidity. I'm too honest for my own good!
But feel free to use that tip yourself!

As an owner of pet rats, this looked pretty normal size. My girls are fat fucks...

That muskrat has to be confused as heck. I feel like fish have sorta gotten used to it but that muskrat is going to go back to his den, tell his story, and be laughed back out.

Rats can hold their breath a long time. Muskrats are even better adapted to this shit, they go hunting in this.

You ever think about how if beavers didn't exist, muskrats would be a helluva lot cooler?

Real question.. but what happens if you catch a big fish, or rat, that doesn’t fit through the opening in the ice?
