Abstract

This investigation was made to determine the suitability of strip-mine ponds as habitat for the muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus); and to determine what, if any, changes in the biology of the muskrat were brought about in the transition from a natural habitat to an artificial one produced as a result of man's industrial activities. The ecology and biology of the muskrat were studied from November 1955 to May 1957 on a strip-mined area in southern Illinois.
