Caught in the Act - Nutria's Secret Itch Revealed at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot captured by Janet Horton, we witness a mischievous nutria indulging in some serious scratching business. This furry critter, also known as the river rat or nutria, seems to have found the perfect spot to relieve an itch amidst the serene beauty of Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. With its large size and semi-aquatic nature, this coypu knows how to make a splash! But who knew they were such experts at multitasking? While most animals would be content with simply enjoying their surroundings or munching on some delectable treats, our little friend here has decided that itching cannot wait any longer! As it stands near the tranquil slough of water, surrounded by lush greenery and wetlands stretching as far as the eye can see, one might assume that this adorable rodent is lost in deep contemplation. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that its true focus lies elsewhere – furiously scratching away without a care in the world! This comical moment reminds us that even wildlife needs a good scratch every now and then. So next time you visit Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, keep your eyes peeled for these playful creatures engaging in unexpected antics like this nutria caught red-pawed!
