    I went “awww” until I read wikipedia about them and saw that they’re invasive. They’re native to South America, and have been introduced to other places around the world by fur traders.

      The fact that the animal was brought by people somewhere it doesn’t belong doesn’t mean it can’t inspire an aww. It’s just one more bad thing about people, not about the animal.

        They are a serious danger for dams and dikes, as they like to build their tunnels in them. And they had to close a train line recently because Nutria basically destroyed the embankment under the tracks.

      Even here in South America, depending on the region, they’re invasive.
