What is this i found dead on a field

[professor-tones]

Please excuse my lack of knowledge of animals , but i found this laying dead on a detecting spot. Is it a rat or a mole ?

Nutria? Muskrat?

I would say muskrat. Definitely not a mole and doesn't look like any rat I have seen.

Is your hunting spot near a water source?
It looks like a water vole to me.

Muskrat. The back feet and tail gives it away.
