Nutria eats an apple in the gravel pit Dresden Leuben

Today I was at the gravel pit in beautiful autumn weather. There I could observe a group of nutrias eating.
The (rarely: the) nutria (Myocastor coypus), also called beaver rat or more rarely swamp beaver, tail beaver, tail rat or coypu, is a rodent species originating from South America and settled in Central Europe. It is classified either in its own family, Myocastoridae, or as the subfamily Myocastorinae within the spiny rats (Echimyidae). According to recent molecular analyses (based on homologous DNA sequences, mitochondrial and nuclear genes), the genus undoubtedly belongs to Echimyidae. It is the only aquatic (semiaquatic) representative here in a group of otherwise ground-dwelling genera.[1]
