Creator Transcript
  • Ondatra. [underlined] During the evening we saw 14 rats swimming in various parts of the lake. The outer Lake is up to 10-12' [feet] deep + vegetated to its centre with submerged plants of which Pot. [Potamogeton] richardsonii [underlined] Pot [Potamogeton] pectinatus? [underlined] + Myriophyllum codominate. The small Pot. [Potamogeton] [underlined] seems to be the current food preference both here + in the river lake where there is an abundance of Equisetum + Carex [all underlined] along the S [south] end of the lake. Environment [underlined]:- In evening checked the second lake west. It is of almost identical flora + topography to the very productive #2 L. [lake] W. [west] but has almost no rat sign in it. We then checked the large shallow lake opening off the river 1/2 mile further west + found it to be absolutely without rats. No equisetum over most of this lake, grass + sedge being almost the only marsh plants present. Reproduction:- The squeaking call has lost its attraction for the [male symbol] rats + the two males we have examined have shown a marked shrinkage of the seminal vesicles + a flaccid condition of the testes.
