The thumbnails below give a tiny idea of the drawings of muskrat (or paintings or other non-photographic works of art) that appear on each site. Each site has larger, more detailed pictures on it.
"Muskrat Home Page" contained a color drawing of a muskrat. In this case, "Muskrat" was the name given to a Sun SPARCStation 1 server at The University of Vermont. Unfortunately, it seems this server no longer exists.
The same drawing appears on Inside
Info from Fresh
Muskrat Tracks. (They have
another drawing of a muskrat--see the next entry.)

Line Art from the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife
Service has three GIF files containing four line drawings of
muskrats.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service gives you permission to use the
drawings from
this page in your brochure, term paper, etc. On their Line
Art Main Page
they say (and we quote): "They are not copyrighted, and you
may use
them for no charge. An artist working for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service,
Robert Savannah, created this art for use in Service publications - but
you're
also welcome to use it. No approval from the Service is
required before
using these drawings." Their only request is quite
reasonable:
"If you use these images in your publication, we do request that you
include a credit line for Robert Savannah, U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service." That's a great policy; I like it!
Line
Illustrations - Muskrat (also from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service)
has this drawing
of a muskrat by Timothy Knepp. It is it the public
domain. If you
use it, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service
requests that you credit it with a line like "U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service/line art by Timothy Knepp".

Not a muskrat but named after the muskrat, at least in Spanish ...
Tipos
de
Canguros (Types of Kangaroos) has a picture of a kangaroo rat
that, in
Spanish, is called rata almizclera marsupial,
literally "marsupial
muskrat". It is an apt name because some of its
characteristics and
behaviors are similar to those of the North American muskrat:
it has a
hairless tail and eats insects. From Los
Canguros, (link is
"Sandra" on) Alumnos/as
curso "Iniciación a la Red Internet", InfoLand.
Sometimes it is not obvious to me if it is a photograph or a painting, so you might want to check out my Photographs page, too.
