A small, reddish-brown animal, likely a muskrat, swims steadily across a body of water from left to right in the video. Its head and a portion of its back are visible above the rippling water surface, leaving a V-shaped wake. Leafless tree branches hang over the water on the right side of the frame. The scene is brightly lit, indicating daytime in a natural outdoor environment. The video is set in Nikolo-Beryozovka, Russia.
