Nutria, or coypu, can cause significant ecological and economic problems. They damage wetland ecosystems by overgrazing vegetation, leading to soil erosion and loss of habitat for native species. Additionally, nutria can compromise agricultural lands by consuming crops and damaging irrigation systems. Their burrowing habits can also weaken levees and flood control structures, increasing the risk of flooding.

How is a groundhog different from a nutria?

Nutria also have more prominent whiskers than a groundhog and a whitish chin. if you can get a look at the animal's incisors, orange to reddish incisors are characteristic for nutria. Nutria can be distinguished from muskrats by their size (nutria are larger) and their tails. The hairless tail of a muskrat is laterally compressed (thinner from side-to-side than it is top dorsal to ventral) while the tail of the nutria is fully round.
