Muskrats ain't to be under-rated. In HS, my brother and our two best friends were fishing, anchored out in the mouth of Knife River, ND. Hot day- we were in swim trunks. A two family group of muskrats came swimming across.
We thought it a good idea, soon disabused, to net a couple of the kits. The adults came aboard. Who knew those little bastids could jump 2 feet out of the water?
We left them the boat.... first smart move we made.
Edit: I should add - it was unanimous, without a word spoken! Pretty much every man for himself, in all different directions.
