| The Nutria (Myocastor coypus) is native to South America but was introduced into the United States in the 1940s. It has become very common, in fact, quite a nuisance, in many areas, especially the southeastern U.S. The animal at right, feeding on plant material, was photographed at Port Aransas, Nueces Co., Texas, in February, 2001, with a Canon EOS 3 and EF 500mm F/4 L IS lens on Fuji Velvia. |  |
| The shot at right with a mother with a pup on her back as well as the single adult in the next image were shot at Anahuac N.W.R., Chambers Co., Texas, in April, 1993, with a Canon T-90 and Sigma 500mm F/4.5 lens on Kodachrome 200. |  |
