Nutria

There’s a Coypu in the lake at Lago di Alviano.

They look like they are doing doggy-paddle.

I’d love to see what they look like swimming from underwater.

I like the way their ears, eyes and nose are so high on their heads. I’m less keen on their bright orange teeth:

Orange-toothed Swamp Beavers

They’re an exotic immigrant from South America, here in Italy…

…doing the doggy-paddle.
