Outdoors | Investigation for invasive species: On the hunt for nutria

No nutria is good news … at least in Southern Illinois.

The nutria is a large South American rodent, ranging in size from 8.8-20 points. The nutria was introduced to the United States in the 1940s to augment the trapping industry. The orange-toothed critter was released throughout different portions of the United States, including Louisiana, Ohio, Oregon, New Mexico, Utah and Washington.
