Yours is the first posting I have found that may answer my latest burning question; what is the furry dude living under my shed? I moved to Massachusetts 2 weeks ago from So. Cal., and this little guy isn't like anything I've ever seen. He does look rather like a muskrat with a hairy tail, although his tail is kinda short. And wow! He is seriously nervous! I was in the kitchen, watching him raid the leavings from my squirrel feeder, and sneezed; you'd have thought that he'd been shot, the way he exploded. He didn't come out from under the shed for at least 15 minutes. Now that I've read your post, I'm going to have to look up Nutrias, and find out if they live around here. Take heart...you're not alone! Aha! Yours is the first posting I have found that may answer my latest burning question; what is the furry dude living under my shed?
