Nutria Swimming in Snohomish River, Washington

A nutria (Myocastor coypus) swims up the Snohomish River near Kenmore, Washington. The river reflects the fall colors of the trees on its banks. Nutria, which are large aquatic rodents, are native to South America and were introduced to the United States in the 1940s. Since then, they have become so abundant they are considered a nuisance, destroying habitat used by waterfowl and displacing native muskrats.
