Nutria (PiP, clickable)

Nutria (PiP, clickable)
"Die (selten: das) Nutria (Myocastor coypus), auch Biberratte oder seltener Sumpfbiber, Schweifbiber, Schweifratte oder Coypu genannt, ist eine aus Südamerika stammende und in Mitteleuropa eingebürgerte Nagetierart. Sie wird entweder in einer eigenen Familie, Myocastoridae, oder als Unterfamilie Myocastorinae innerhalb der Stachelratten (Echimyidae) eingeordnet. Nach neueren molekularen Analysen (aufgrund homologer DNA-Sequenzen, mitochondriale und nukleare Gene) gehört die Gattung unzweifelhaft zu den Echimyidae. Sie ist hier der einzige wasserlebende (semiaquatische) Vertreter in einer Gruppe sonst bodenlebender Gattungen.
Die ursprüngliche Heimat der an Flüssen, Seen, Teichen und in Sümpfen lebenden Nutria ist das subtropische und gemäßigte Südamerika. Dort kommt sie vom südlichen Brasilien bis nach Feuerland vor und stand im 19. Jahrhundert kurz vor der Ausrottung. Grundsätzlich leben die Tiere sehr standorttreu und verteidigen engagiert ihr Revier.
In Deutschland ist die Nutria an etlichen Gewässern in allen Bundesländern zu finden. Größere und weitgehend beständige Populationen gibt es unter anderem an den Flüssen Niers, Schwalm und Cloer am Niederrhein und an Spree und Saale im Osten Deutschlands, insbesondere im Spreewald." (Auszüge aus dem Wikipedia-Artikel) Auch dieses Tier wurde im Spreewald gesichtet.

"The coypu (from Spanish coipú, from Mapudungun koypu; Myocastor coypus), also known as the nutria, is a large, herbivorous, semiaquatic rodent. Classified for a long time as the only member of the family Myocastoridae, Myocastor is actually nested within Echimyidae, the family of the spiny rats. The coypu lives in burrows alongside stretches of water, and feeds on river plant stems. Originally native to subtropical and temperate South America, it has since been introduced to North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, primarily by fur farmers. Although it is still hunted and trapped for its fur in some regions, its destructive burrowing and feeding habits often bring it into conflict with humans, and it is considered an invasive species." Excerpts from the Wikipedia entry .
This one has been spotted in the Spreewald in Germany.

I know Nutria of which besides the beautiful photo, you have been able to give a comprehensive information about its origins and diffusion also in Europe with the primary purpose of making fur animal (Castorino as it is called here).
Also in Padua, the Rivieras are full of them, and as far as I know, are regularly destroyed.
It seems that some hunters, eat them as well.. Horror!!
