San Francisco is being invaded by “wildly destructive” 20-pound rodents that are capable of reproducing at a “prolific rate.”
Around a thousand nutria, large rat-like creatures with bright orange teeth, have already colonized the city and are wreaking havoc.
Compounding the problem is the fact that they are known for their destructive habits and can give birth to a staggering 39 offspring every year.
Their presence was confirmed to SFGATE by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Bay Delta Region and Matthew Slattengren, Contra Costa County agriculture commissioner.
