Mighty Muskrat!
–There was a muskrat on the Deputy Dog cartoon series of yore, and muskrats celebrated in the…ugh…Captain and Tennille song, “Muskrat Love.” But now one of these furry rodents has dug a hole through an earthen levee in Winfield, Missouri allowing the Mississippi River to penetrate the floodwall, which failed Friday.
National Guardsmen and hundreds of townspeople were unable to thwart the efforts of a furry rodent weighing no more than five pounds. The muskrat is thought to have either been seeking food or building a den when it dug the hole that brought the levee down.
Such is the power of the Fur!
