Seriously? A Fucking Dolphin in the Gowanus Canal?!
In 2011, a muskrat was found living the Canal, the Post reported, and probably because it’s an “upscale rat,” it seemed to be doing ok. According to the tabloid: “Hans Hesselein, [of] the Gowanus Canal Conservancy, admitted that any creature living in the waterway will have a shorter life expectancy than one living in a clean environment. But nonetheless, he described the muskrat’s appearance as ‘great news.’ ‘It indicates the canal has broader habitat appeal than we thought.'”
