White Coypu

I have known for a few weeks that we have a new guest in the pond but due to the fact it prefers to only come out at night I had not been able to get him until this evening. The quality is not great as it was getting dark but at least they are better than nothing.....................

This is a very rare white Coypu

This is one large rodent who steals the duck's grain by pulling a very heavy terracotta
container across the grass before eating. This is a new container as the two previous
were stolen by our furry friend.

They originate from South America and were introduced across the world by fur ranchers, we know them as Coypu but in France they are called Ragondin and are so much of a pest they must be killed by law - Oops yet more law breaking on the part of a Bociek because of our furry friends.

  

Here it is helping me cut the grass saving me a job

They have very large, very bright orange teeth as you may be able to see.

Great pink ears and nose

I got to close and just got this before he dived under the water
