    Tips

    September 6, 2024

    The nutria (Myocastor coypus) is a rodent also known as a beaver, myopotamo. Native to South America, it feeds mainly on plants. Large in size (up to 10 kg), stocky, an excellent swimmer and digger, it has a large head, small ears, thick brown fur except for the tail, almost hairless, the first 4 toes of the hind leg joined by a membrane. Bred for its fur, following escapes from farms and introductions, the species has naturalized and spread widely in Italy, becoming, due to its great reproductive potential and limited number of predators, highly problematic and invasive because it threatens the balance of freshwater ecosystems and damages crops and river banks.

      The nutria looks like a big giant mouse and is also a bit disgusting, it swims in the murky waters of canals and ponds, it is not dangerous but if it feels threatened it can bite.
