Cute little animals until you remember they're called "Nutria Rats". You can barely see it's "rat" tail underwater.

Good shot. Nothing like a 3 foot rat to make your day.

Nice capture. How big are they? Do people eat them?

They grow to a length of about two feet and weigh 15-20 lbs. They eat vegetation and wreak havoc with lake, bayou and marsh banks, tearing them up in search of food.

A local chef, who is from from France, tried to promote them as desirable, but he never succeeded. Personally I wouldn't eat the meat. They look too much like a rat
