Ok so this thing lives in the pond right outside my apartment. I can't figure out what the hell it is. The tail is to skinny for a beaver. It's always in the water or digging up roots to eat. I am in central FL
Another picture
My vote for identification is: Muskrat
Turns out its a nutria which is basically a big fucking aquatic rat LOL

lol, it's a muskrat, dumb yankee
Its a fucking moose, moron. Everyone knows what a fucking moose is. God you're fucking stupid.
they freak me out with those tails...
>>107725>>107730ha! a Muskrat! a Moose!come on, lives in a pond, always in the water, digging up roots, in central Florida!Its obviously a Basset Hound!
>>107836Awww! he's so cute!What breed is that? some sort of Hound right?
It's not a muskrat. It's a fucking nutria.
nutria for sure, more like an aquatic guinea pig really
>>107855>Its obviously a Basset Hound!>Basset Hound
It's a nutria. We have tons of them around here (Louisiana), living in the ditches, and around lakes and swamps. They have orange teeth.Where do you live?
>>107884they make great coats, and they're pretty tastey.
JACKAL?IS IT A JACKAL?JACKAL? ITS A JACKAL! JACKAL?
>>107905Yeah, if you like the taste of giant rat. They taste just like you'd expect a giant rat to taste like. I do like their fur, though. (Louisiana also, my dad trapped them.) I heard they actually make pretty good pets. Like a rat but giant.
>>108008Well, that settles it, OP. You must now capture and tame this beast for posterity's sake.
either a muskrat or nutria
>>107908IF IT WASN'T RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, WHY THE HELL DID YOU KEEP SAYING IT?! GOD!!
OP here. I can't believe this shit is still going. It's a nutria. My first thought really was basset hound though.I have decided to capture the monster and train it to attack the negroid kids who harass the ducks in the pond.
>>108008one we had didn't taste like rat..tastes like gamey pork.
its a fucking invasive species, shoot it
>>108158They're classified as vermin in pretty much every state that has them, and they all have people paid to cull them.
Taken from wikipedia:"The nipples of female [nutria] are on her back. This allows their young to feed while the female is in the water."WTF.
>>108430The nipples are actually on its sides, not on its back. Yet more evidence you shouldn't trust wikipedia.
>>108431Still, nippes on the side = not 'the norm.'
That is a water rat :)I prefer water rats over your common rats, they are wicked.
The cops in Chalmette, LA are known to use them for target practice.
>>108433But... my mom says I'm unique and beautiful
>>108719Your mom secretly thinks you're grotesque. I bet she cries herself to sleep each night due to nightmares brought on by the memory of carrying you in her womb.
