Muskrats face predation from a variety of animals, including larger mammals such as coyotes, foxes, and raccoons. Birds of Prey, like eagles and owls, also hunt them. Additionally, aquatic predators such as snakes and large fish may pose a threat, especially to young muskrats. Their primary defense mechanisms include swimming away quickly and using their burrows for protection.
