Does a bear eat muskrat?

Yes, bears do eat muskrats. Muskrat is a small, semi-aquatic rodent that is found in many parts of North America. Bears are opportunistic predators and will eat a variety of foods, including muskrats. In fact, muskrat is one of the most common prey items for bears in some areas. Bears typically hunt muskrats by waiting for them to come out of their burrows or by digging them out of their burrows. Muskrat is a good source of protein and fat for bears, and it is also relatively easy for them to catch.
