A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Ondatra zibethicus
Found by a small stream in an urban area
Pižmovka! :) Although at first I thought it was nutrija (coypu). Haven't seen this one for real -yet, so nice find! :)
Hehehe, I checked the list of mammals of France, but they had not included the introduced species :D. Because of the fashion they have introduced the animals that had useful fur :D
No, it's not that as well. But I need to upload the nutria spotting as well :). I started to think maybe it's an invasive species
That's the first thing I thought of but it's not. This one is a bit bigger and has a weird tail that doesn't look like the water voles tail. That's why I put the second photo to show the weird tail used for swimming :D
