The muskrat is found in wetlands over various climates and habitats. It has crucial effects on the ecology of wetlands, [2] and is a resource of food and fur for humans. Adult muskrats weigh 0.6–2 kg (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 lb), with a body length (excluding the tail) of 20–35 cm (8–14 in). They are covered with short, thick fur of ...
The round-tailed muskrat is a semiaquatic and nocturnal species native to the southeastern United States. [3] Limited sexual dimorphism is seen among round-tailed muskrats, with female adults weighing an average of 262 grams (9.2 oz) and male adults measuring at a slightly heavier average of 279 grams (9.8 oz).

Muskellunge are found in oligotrophic and mesotrophic lakes and large rivers from northern Michigan, northern Wisconsin, and northern Minnesota through the Great Lakes region, Chautauqua Lake in western New York, north into Canada, throughout most of the St Lawrence River drainage, and northward throughout the upper Mississippi valley, although the species also extends as far south as ...

Males tend to be larger than females. On average these animals are about 20–27 cm in total length (including the tail), with tails 6–10 cm long, and weigh 125-178 grams. The water vole is the second largest arvicoline in its range (after the muskrat). [5]
In fish, the slits are modified to form gills, but in some other chordates they are part of a filter-feeding system that extracts food particles from ingested water. In tetrapods, they are only present during embryonic stages of the development. A post-anal tail. A muscular tail that extends backwards beyond the location of the anus.
A recent study in the Journal of Great Lakes Research shed light on the growing problem of goldfish proliferating outside of the proverbial fish bowl. A real fish tail. Giant goldfish swimming in ...
In Europe and North America, the tail meat of fish of the genus Lophius, known as monkfish or goosefish (North America), is widely used in cooking, and is often compared to lobster tail in taste and texture. In Africa, the countries of Namibia and the Republic of South Africa record the highest catches. [43]
