They destroy land. The idiots that released them to the wild screwed the state up big time.

We now even have nutria in the Upper Rhine valley. They're called "Bieber-Ratte". 'Cause that's what they: are an unholy amalgamation of a beaver and a rat.

They sure are cute. Which is exactly what got us in a mess with all kinds of invasive species here in Florida, including nutria. I wish you all luck getting rid of them.

As an invasive species, it is not legal to release any nutria that are caught, or are raised as pets as that little one in the video. Feed it apples and pears and carrots ...

Um.. ok? What does that exactly have to do with this video of Nutria? Maybe I missed it but are Nutria messing up the Beavers ability to be the very important & necessary part of being in the habitat?

I stood very close to one by the river near downtown Ft Worth , Tx and thought at the time it was a giant muskrat.. now I know it must have been a nutria that had come out of the Trinity river to look around on the ground .

In 1954 these animals were all over the valley, I remember trapping them as a kid in the late 50's.

Nutria are smart and can be very friendly it is no wonder people like them. Looking back on this it is clear this was a bad idea and never going to work out. However, I never liked the idea of killing animals I think educating the public is a better long term solution, so we don't have this problem again.

Nutria taste much like the water they live in. Sweet meat, slightly gamey, but not unpleasant. I would imagine nutria intentionally fed apples or pears might taste especially good. Interesting video, thanks for posting.
