Coypu - The Unwanted Houseguests Who Made Quite the Splash!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by P. Morris, we witness a single coypu, also known as nutria, gracefully gliding through the water with its sleek fur glistening under the sunlight. But don't let their charming appearance fool you! These riparian rodents were once introduced to the UK and caused quite a stir. Originally hailing from South America, these American troublemakers quickly made themselves at home in British waterways. With their insatiable appetite for vegetation and impressive burrowing skills, they soon became pests of epic proportions. Farmers and environmentalists alike were left scratching their heads on how to deal with these furry invaders. However, fear not! Thanks to determined efforts and eradication programs, our resilient friends have been successfully ousted from British shores. This photo serves as a reminder of both the challenges faced by wildlife enthusiasts in maintaining ecological balance and the triumphs achieved when humans take action against invasive species. So next time you spot an adorable rodent frolicking near your local riverbank or pond, remember that appearances can be deceiving! And if you happen to stumble upon this remarkable print by P. Morris while perusing Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment's collection – appreciate it for its historical significance rather than any commercial use it may imply.
