		Coypus originated from the Amerindian Araucanian language word coypu or kÃ³ypu and was adopted by American Spanish as Coipo is generally used in Europe and Latin America.
		For example, coypu were introduced to Louisiana in the 1930s for its fur, and nutria damage in Louisiana is so severe in 2005 that a bounty program is in effect to aid in controlling the animal.
		Coypu were also introduced to East Anglia, again for fur, in 1929; many escaped and damaged the drainage works, and a concerted programme by MAFF eradicated them by 1989.

	Coypu
		Today the Coypu, along with the Grey Squirrel, are a constant reminder of the folly of introducing foreign species into a new country without fully considering the consequences.
		The general colour of the coypu's guard hairs is dark reddish or yellowish brown, masking the slate grey nutria.
		The mother coypus nipples are situated high on the sides of her body so the young can ride on her back and suckle while she is in the water.

	Coypu - LoveToKnow 1911
		COYPU, the native name of a large South American aquatic rodent mammal, known very generally among European residents in the country as nutria (the Spanish word for otter) and scientifically as Myocastor (or Myopotamus) coypu.
		Its large size, aquatic habits, partially webbed hind-toes, and the smooth, broad, orange-coloured incisors, are sufficient to distinguish this rodent from the other members of the family Capromyidae.
		Coypu are abundant in the fresh waters of South America, even small ponds being often tenanted by one or more pairs.

	Comparative Placentation
		Coypus are extremely well adapted to water, are excellent swimmers, and prefer to feed in swampy areas off roots and other vegetable matter.
		Since the coypu, as the guinea pig, is a member of the larger group of Hystricomorpha, these authors suggested that similar mechanisms of the maintenance of gestation may prevail.

		Coypu closed his eyes and opened his ears and nose, taking a big whiff of his pipe, and basking in the glory of it all.
		Coypu was fascinated, and he ever so much wanted to get to know this magnificent creature better.

	More Coypu Flies!
		Here are two more coypu patterns to try--a coypu version of the gurgler that I call the Furgler, and a large Coypu Mouse.
		This unusual Gurgler has a fur tail and body of palmered coypu and is a very effective surface fly to use to imitate a mouse or other "critter." While I call this a “mouse” Gurgler, you may also see in it a “shrimp” Gurgler or a “frog” Gurgler or some other critter Gurgler.
		Tie in a length of coypu strip (with the guard hair points to the rear) at a point just before the bend of the hook if you want a full-bodied fly, more forward if you want a half or third-body fly.

		Its appetite is inexhaustible, and by no means limited to farm crops: a Great Yarmouth farm wife recently complained that coypus were boldly gnawing her window frames, and in some East Anglian river towns, coypus have been known to free boats from their moorings by chewing through the lines.
		Since the coypu's natural predators (alligators, crocodiles and certain types of foxes and eagles) are all back in South America, the animal has flourished in East Anglia's bogs and fens.
		A few British restaurants serve coypu (whose taste resembles veal), thoroughly disguised as "Argentine hare." But the coypu's only real enemy is England's furious farmer who, prevented by law from using poison—which would also kill off harmless animal life—prowls the marsh with trap and gun.

		For decades upon decades a fuzzy little rodent named the Coypu has been burrowing into the levees of New Orleans.
		The levees offer ideal habitat for these little creature's dens and because they undermine levee systems, damage wetlands and eat crops, the state of Louisiana and her neighbors have classified the Coypu as "vermin".
		Locally, these rodents are referred to as nutria, and they are as common as sight in New Orleans as a squirrel is in hardwood forests.

		My point is that we HAVE defended out music, and just because Coypu is putting his hands over his ears and yelling, "NUH UH!" doesn't mean we haven't refuted each of his claims and proven him to be utterly wrong and out of line.
