Muskrats are the country cousins of those big city wharf rats. I remember the first time I took my two boys fishing off their grandparents dock in Mt Vernon, IL. They were catching little bait fish (shad) and dutifully filling their stringers when I pointed out a muskrat swimming lickety-split up the cove on the surface (ugly, mean looking sumbitch). Well, at the end of the day the boys pulled their stringers out of the water and started crying (they were four & five yrs old): all they had left were about a dozen fish skeletons and not an ounce of flesh. That good for nothing muskrat had sneaked up under water and cleaned all the meat off of their catch. I was going to use their catch for some adult fishing that evening. DIRTY RAT!!

Those NYC rats and garbage cans sound like the counterparts of bears in the national parks.
