Nice selfie! On the Internet, nobody knows you're a muskrat. (Unless you tell people in your username, I suppose.)

Muskrats are rodents. As we all developed from. Considering how rodents have survived underground in clans 65 million years ago when this small pebble hit earth: I believe it ain't surprising that they developed a social behavior containing altruistic traits (without direct self-interest).

Beyond breeding care most birds do.

Rodents were so successful in conquering ecosystems that till to today the only flying mammals still are rodents, basically.

Just look how big the societies are some kinds of bats tend to form.
