The beavers are tearing this pond up right now but I found this tunnel that goes into the pond right in the middle of a beaver slide, is it muskrats? Tunnel is about 10” diameter. Sorry for the newbie question I’m fairly new with the aquatic stuff

Could be an entrance to the beaver lodge or nutria, or muskrat.
