Last night at dusk a critter swam across our wide but very short slough . It was too dark to tell what it was even with binocculars. I looked on google and have a few ideas but it doesn't fit what we know. There is a hole dug in the bank near our sea wall. This past fall when we got near the hole it made a noise like growling. The critter swam with his/her head just above water but there was a wide wave path as it swam. Any ideas, going to call TC extension office this am.

Well....take your pick. On Martin I have seen Beavers, Muskrats, Otters, and suspicious swimming weirdos. I have seen a number of deer. There may also be aquatic birds....ducks, geese, loons, coots, and volkswagon-sized swans.

Hole in the bank and the way you discribed how it swam I would say Muskrat.

Muskrat, little doubt. Very destructive little devils if you have a boat in the water. Love to eat electrical wires, any electronics and sank a friends I/O by eating thru the boot -- I shoot them. (But only in season for the DNR guys out there.)
