Rats or Nuts

I thought I was filming a big ole fat Muskrat, but now I wonder if it was a Nutria. I know they are in the area. I guess I can post the pics and some of you guys can tell me. THey are living in an old abandoned beaver lodge. Are they similiar?

I was under the impression it was the biggest dang muskrat I have ever seen. I got some shots and even video of the thing so I will get those up for you. Seems like big round tail though. Seems like it swam up out of the water a bit more than a rat too.

I've got muskrats up to 9 lbs. With that your average muskrat is only 2-3 lds. Nutria are usually over 15 lbs.

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Though I am a little better at identifying housecats versus bobcats than Dman. THis one might get me.

Kip,
You'd probably love to stick a #1 1/2 on that log as much as me.
