Described as a river rat or giant swamp rat, the rodent known in North America as the nutria originally came from South America. Imported over a century ago for its fur, it has since become a native pest, causing particularly extensive damage to cars and trucks. Recent weather conditions have invited nutria to travel to more and more areas of the country, with notable infestations in Connecticut since many escaped from a farm in Hamden that was raising these animals because of the value of their fur.
Nutria prefer areas with lots of water but have an attraction to the smell of antifreeze which mimics the smell of the Nutrial sex hormones, and consequently in the spring Nutria often begin building nests in vehicle engines with the hope of attracting a mate. Consequently they can cause extensive damage to vehicles, and can be very difficult to get rid of.
Nutria are relatively docile creatures but they will fearlessly protect their nests. To learn more about Nutria visit our website http://www.havahart.com/articles/nutria-invasive-rodent-animal .

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
