That one's been there in Brooklyn Bridge Park for awhile.

Historically, they were abundant in Prospect Park...another man-made water
feature. The Park's Department hardened the edge of the lake in part to
deter muskrats back in the 1920's.

RE:[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Muskrat

[Rob Jett]

While an artificial habitat pool seems an odd spot for a muskrat, they  
are fairly common around Brooklyn in coastal spots, such as, Gerritsen  
Creek in Marine Park. I also recently observed one at Hendrix Creek,  
directly across from the sewage treatment plant.
