[Scotty Dive]

Anyone know what this is?

My first thought is Nutria.

 

[oldpilgrim]

looks like a muskrat to me. Pretty common in NE.

 

[jack707]

Maybe an otter or rat

 

[Scotty Dive]

Thanks.....I think it's a muskrat too. Thanks

 

[Looking4new]

That was my first thought as well. Muskrat.

 

[Egon]

Mink?

Muskrats have a smooth tail, no fur.

 

[Redneck in training]

Muskrat has scaly tail. Nutria is quite large and I doubt it could live in CT climate.

I'm going with groundhog / woodchuck / marmot, despite the wet location: furry tail, black feet.

looks like a short otter??
