Willamette River Rodent

Nutria? Or an otter or beaver? I have no idea...if any of you know, please let me know. I'd love to know what it is I'm seeing. All three have been seen in the Willamette River in Salem, Oregon.

How big? I’d vote nutria if it isn’t too big

Can't help you but a great find nonetheless!

@jgpittenger Yea...I think nutria also, just from the ones I've seen walking in local parks... Thanks.

@judithdeacon Thanks, Judith, ...seeing this thing swim by when I was really just looking at the post made it pretty interesting.
