This is a Nutria. I think he is related to a groundhog (only bigger, and the new pc fur choice). He lives in the bayou on Four Mile Bayou Road, in Berwick, Louisiana. He’s definitely casting his shadow. Does this mean we are in for seven more weeks of winter? I don’t remember how the saying goes, or if it applies to nutria as well as groundhogs. Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year. (Do you think any rabbits saw their shadows today? I actually saw mine, and felt real warmth from the sun for the first time in months. I think there is hope.)
