Friday about 6 pm, while walking the dirt drive to the Rowing Club
dock on the Sammamish Slough by Marymoor Park, my brother and I came
upon a critter who looked like a muskrat or nutria but who had a
short, stub tail. He was wandering along the trail, pretty oblivious to us.

Two photos, shot at about 12 feet, are at:

Anyone know for sure what this animal was? Thanks in advance!
