Episode 69: Beware the Anti-Beaver
And we're back! October is here, and it's spooky scary invasive species month on the podcast, and this episode we're kicking it off with the nutria. This semi-aquatic rodent is an introduced species in the United States, and wreaks havoc on the wetlands it lives in. Tune in to learn about where it came from, the surprising impacts a rodent can have on the ecosystem, and what we can do to help. And mild correction, the Invasive Species Centre is in Canada, not California, though I'm sure California has a lovely invasive species group.
