As we were leaving the Island yesterday we drove out the back way because there’s a lot of stupid people here walking into traffic like they own the joint. Shopping must drain brain cells. Anyway, we drive by the Bayou, and as one does I was leaning out of the truck saying hello to the bunnies and ducks and out of the corner of my eye I see a….. What the Fuck… yup, a real live, what the fuck, sitting in the grass on its hind legs eating something with its paws and I’ve never seen this creature in my life! My husband slams on the breaks as we both say “ WTF IS THAT?!”
The closest thing I can think of is a Capybara or some kind of beaver without a flat tail. We narrow down that a capybara wouldn’t be in Texas, beavers all have flat tails so….. Is it dangerous? Does it spread disease? ( for the record, armadillos spread leprosy!) so, obviously I start googling “ rat + big + beaver + capybara + Texas” That ought to narrow it down! We found that it’s a rodent type thing that no one wants because they mow down vegetation like a forest fire and therefore will ruin the bayou if a snake doesn’t get them first ( my money is on the snake) they are called Nutria and they can get to 22 lbs of rat/ beaver creature! Goddamn, Texas.
That’s it. I just thought that needed to be shared.
Bye
Me
