Nutrias Pests Grow in Texas Rivers and Floodplains
Texas Parks and Wildlife officials warn nutrias or coypus have become pests in parts of West Texas along the Colorado and San Saba rivers. Introduced from South America in 1938 for fur and from Louisiana to Texas in the late 1940s to early 1950s for vegetation control, these 15 to 25 pound aquatic rodents resist predators and reproduce rapidly, with few natural enemies beyond trappers and hunters. Weather extremes like hurricanes and freezes have limited their spread.
