Wildlife officials are encouraging California Population to add rodents to their daily diet as part of the efforts to control the inhabitants of gases.
Nutria, which is a large and semi -cabin, threatens the state’s ecosystems by destroying the original wild habitats and life. The harmful effects of Nutria have prompted the officials of wildlife to promote hunting and consumption as possible solutions.
“Eating gas species can help protect the original wildlife by reducing their numbers and reducing the damage caused by ecosystems,” says A. statement It was released in late February by Erin Huggins, a spokesman for fish and wildlife. “However, it is not a complete solution and must be combined with other preservation efforts to effectively control these types.”
According to The Ministry of Fish and Wildlife in California (CDFW), Nutria was originally introduced to the United States for Fur Trading, but it has since they themselves in up to 18 states. Rodents can grow to 40 inches (102 cm), which is a large size like a beaver or a small dog.
They were believed to have been eliminated from California in the 1970s, but a rise was discovered in 2017, especially in the Sacramento Saint -Jokin River and the wet lands surrounding.
Federal wildlife officials are trying to make consumption of nutrients somewhat attractive by drawing similarities with Rabbit taste or dark turkey meat. Resources, including recipes for Nutria dishes such as soup and hot pepper, are available Nutria.com.
Nutria is very devastating for swamp environments. Rodents eat up to a quarter of the body’s body weight in the vegetation daily. Nutrition habits are not only destroyed the original plant life, but also shakes the stability of soil structures, which can lead to severe erosion and loss of habitat for endangered species.
To alleviate its effect, CDFW removed about 5500 Nutria Of the wetlands in California from early February. The highest concentration of these rodents was found in the provinces of Merced, Fresno, Stanislaus and Solano.
The call for dining in Nutrias came during the National Awareness Week for invasive types in late February, which is the time designated to attract attention to the urgency of treating the damage of gas species before causing more environmental and economic damage.

Some other wildlife officials encouraged the population to hunt, arrest and cook are the head of the northern snake, green liga, and several types of wild pigs.
