The nutria, an invasive swamp-dwelling rodent, is wreaking havoc on California ecosystems, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

They appear by surprise in towns and on beaches, cause accidents, and scare the local fishermen, nutria, manatees and capybaras.

But after the response, the agency provided special conditions allowing the family to keep the nutria as a pet within the law, according to the newspaper.

The Baton Rouge Zoo said it was ready to give Neuty a home in an area with another male nutria.

Known formally as Myocastor coypus and commonly called the “menace of the marsh,” nutria are bad for ecosystems.
