T-Boy is a nutria, a type of semi aquatic rodent. He's New Orleans' Punxsutawney Phil. He lives in the Audubon Zoo Swamp exhibit.
Nutria were brought to America in the late 19th century, specifically around 1899, for fur farming purposes. They were introduced to several states, including Louisiana, where they adapted well to the environment. Over time, some nutria escaped or were released into the wild, leading to their establishment as an invasive species in various regions of the U.S.
why do invasive species tend to be so successful in their new environment
In it's natural South American environment predators of the nutria include wild cats (Jaguar, Puma, Ocelot, Jaguarundi, Oncilla, Margay) feral cats and dogs, large snakes and possibly the South American fox. People, of course, raise and kill nutria for their soft undercoat also eat its meat.
