R.o.u.s.

But what about the R.O.U.S.?

The Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.

Why aren't they using dogs to hunt these things down?

One would think the mountain lions would feast on those things.

Inconceivable!

You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means.

I think the mountain lions might be more likely if the river rats lived


in


the


mountains...

It said in the article why they were not encouraging people to hunt them, afraid too many beavers and otters would get shot

Well, especially if they only have six people trapping them.

Considering the damage they do you would think the local land owners would want to get more involved with fighting these things.

We need to create a niche gourmet market... get some land up on the Sacramento delta trap them and sell the meat.

Mousier I recommend the Nutria flambe.

Nothing unusual about their size, that is their natural adult size, beavers are also rodents

"Originally native to subtropical and temperate South America, it has since been introduced to North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, primarily by fur farmers.[11] Although it is still valued for its fur in some regions, its destructive feeding and burrowing behaviours make this invasive species's endurance controversial to human occupants."
