Spudd & Astrakan

We were caching in a park in Montreal when we ran across this guy: We didn't know what it was so we approached as close as we dared and snapped some pics with our cellphones. After returning home I did a web search and it looks like it was a muskrat. Apparently they can attack humans without provocation and are very vicious! Had we known that we might have kept our distance a bit more.
