Nutria

Myocastor coypus

Description:

Large rat-like animal, usually brown in color. The one pictured is an albino variety.

Habitat:

Marshes and grassy areas.

Notes:

This is my second photo spotting of this albino nutria. Since there was a special request for animals with unique color variations, I thought I would post this more recent shot.
