Creator Transcript
  • Ondatra Injuries [underlined]:- A male #24 taken was in very poor condition, ragged fur. On the plantar surface of the rt [right] heel was a raw area the size of a nickel + there was a hard swelling of the bone beneath. This did not seem to be a fracture, rather a tumor. Disease [underlined]:- Mr H. [Henry] Firth states that this year he saw very few rats with spotted livers, whereas last year there were many. Parasites [underlined]:- On #1 lake saw fresh rat feces containing about 1 1/2" [inch] of tapeworm Reaction to enemies:- Reaction is extraordinarily rapid. A Yellowlegs lighted behind a rat that had been feeding + had not seen the bird coming. The rat jumped 4 ft [feet] or so in a flash, dived + then reappeared, looked the situation over + returned to its feeding. June 18/47 [1947] On #6 lake took 5 rats 2 [female symbol]'s 3 [male symbol]'s of which 1 [male symbol] + 1 [female symbol] drowned. Food [underlined]:- As seen here 95% stem bases of Carex aquatilis [underlined] 5% bases of newly sprouted grass.
