A muskrat slurps up a pillar of fibrous algae from the edge of a swamp. It is simultaneously gorgeous and gross.

If you would like to be reassured it’s not all horror 24/7, let me introduce you to this muskrat happily slurping up swamp goo down by the border. It’s stretchy, not sketchy, and couldn’t be fresher. Swamp-to-cakehole cuisine, carefree living, this muskrat has it made.
