Nutria also breed rapidly: Females first become pregnant around six months old, and can have four litters a year of between six and 12 pups per litter.

Nutria are medium sized rodents that live in freshwater environments. They are native to South America. Nutria can grow up to 40 inches from its nose to the tip of its round, rat-like tail. They weigh an average of 12 pounds, although some can reach up to 40 pounds. They are herbivores and feed primarily on the roots and stems of wetland plants.
