Lovely close-up. They were introduced or escapees from fur farms in the UK too. I remember seeing some in East Anglia many years ago.

Nice close up of this Coypu Stanley . They were bred locally for their fur in Suffolk UK where I grew up , some escaped , bred and did untold damage to the river banks . My brother had a young one as a pet untill the powers that be found out and took it away !!

Stunning close-up of this well-spread rodent (we have them here in Bulgaria and saw them in Greece earlier this month)! Wonderfully detailed Stanley!
