That is the best explanation. But the thing is that if it is a mammel, then it is extremly aqutic. Becous ethe burrows have a opening that allows easiy accses into the pond. Also, i have bben to one more place that has frogs. This place is a pond smaller than the pond that is bull frog ground zero. There at that pond lives a large bull frog that i have named golioph. There are also burrows that are a diffrent desine than ground zero. These burows are less than a foot in diamitor and they dont empty out into the pond. They are simmular to deep ditches. But when the burrows are being used, there is water at the back of the burrow. Explan that!

There are several, especially in your state.
Beaver, muskrat, mink, otter, etc..
Reptiles may later inhabit old Mammal burrows, so Mammals are good to have around!

sounds like a nutria aka nutrarat. foreign, brought over to louisiana and accidentally released they are now found in the southern united states- they are one of the keys to the american alligator's comeback. Great gator food- no defense not real fast. they are like rats but about 1 foot long, w/out tail.
I live for what Steve Irwin stood for. If the world was full of people like him, it would be a better place.

I came back from herping a couple of days ago and noticed that on one side of the pond, there seemed to be little shelters. Shelters as in tall grasses pushed together and leaves and other debrese. This seems like some kind of shelter to me. And frogs often live in these homes. What if somehow, the bull frogs are makeing shelters for themselfs out of things in the pond?

No, they would not do that. can you describe it better, is it a lump of debris? If so it could just be debris left over from when it rains and the pond/lake overflows and then resides.

Great gator food- no defense not real fast. they are like rats but about 1 foot long, w/out tail. Herptile lives in WI, a bit too north for the "Swamp rats". Yes, they have been introduced to Mich., but it's uncertain if they are in the Milwaukee area.

| Sounds like muskrats to me. I do not know if they are that far north, but when i lived in FL they where all over the place. They burrow in to pond banks and the build stick homes. and you seldom seen because the run to there burrows fast. Mahoney
