Muskrat
Today we had a visitor in our wine cellar. We have a manhole there that covers a drainage chamber, containing an electric pump that is activated in the event of flooding. We found this muskrat in the chamber, having entered via one of the drainage pipes leading there. It seemed very sleepy, and moving slowly. We thought it might have been in the throws of hibernation.
It was creating a lot of smell (musk?) and there were droppings everywhere. So, we encouraged it to leave the cellar, in the nicest possible way. It disappeared off into the night.
