TEXAS PARKS & WILDLIFE
The Cover
A South American newcomer to
Texas, that has quickly made itself
at home, the nutria prefers a semiaquatic
life in swamps, marshes,
rivers and lakes. These docile creatures,
nocturnal and almost entirely
vegetarian, are now in growing
demand for their fur.
Painting by Joseph Maniscalco.
