My Funny Picture

does anyone know about an animal called a neutral or have pics?

This animal is possibly a rodent and is known to inhabit the area around Colorado City Lake, Texas. They eat/tear-up styrofoam and wood, constanly destroying docks and peirs. The locals call them neutrals, but I think they might be neutra rats...cant find a pic though or any info on them. any help is apreciated.

1. Nutria, AKA Swamp Rat. Maybe you could try looking for it under that name. Or try looking at something regarding destruction of the Everglades.
2. They surly mean nutria. Texas people aren't the sharpest.
3. Could you be thinking of a Nutria? Its a rodent similar to a rat, very destructive. Can carry plague bearing fleas and other diseases emanating from their burrows or nests.
4. Nutria? That is a type of rat. http://www.nsrl.ttu.edu/tmot1/myoccoyp.htm I found pictures of it on this site. They are ugly. Anyway type nutria into your search engine of choice and you will find tons of info, and yes they are consider a problem in Texas and other states. Ugly.
5. They are called Nutria. They look like a cross between oversized guinea pigs, beavers an otter and a rat. Here is a picture of one from Yahoo images http://mud.mm-a2.yimg.com/image/338749472.
