Nutria (Myocastor coypus) on Apr 28, 2008

Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

Also, the phone number 1-866-INVADER has too many numbers in it so when I tried to call it, it wouldn't work. Other suggestions like taking a picture are inconvenient if you don't have a camera, but I know this is a nutria.

Commentary

None

Resources

There is a lot of good information about nutria in Oregon on the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Living With Wildlife site.
