Nutria (Myocastor coypus) on Dec 12, 2021

Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

I initially thought it was a beaver, but the tail and teeth weren’t right. Upon further research I realized it was a nutria.

Skinny tail, reddish teeth and lots of whiskers. It was about 3-4ft long and looked to weigh around 30-40lbs.
