Nutria rats, also known as coypu, are large semi-aquatic rodents with elongated bodies, reaching lengths of about 2 feet, not including their long, round tails. They have webbed hind feet, which aid in swimming, and thick, coarse fur that is typically brown or grayish-brown. Their most distinctive features are their large orange incisors and whiskers, along with small ears and eyes positioned high on their heads, which allow them to see while mostly submerged. Nutria have a robust build and a somewhat rat-like appearance but are generally larger than typical rats.
