:''Nutria redirects here''. The coypu (, ; ''Myocastor coypus''), also known as the river rat〔(''Castorologia: or The history and traditions of the Canadian beaver'', Horace T. Martin, p.35 )〕 or nutria,〔 is a large, herbivorous, semiaquatic rodent and the only member of the family Myocastoridae. Originally native to subtropical and temperate South America, it has since been introduced to North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, primarily by fur ranchers.〔LeBlanc, Dwight J. 1994. (Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage – Nutria ). Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.〕 Although it is still valued for its fur in some regions, its destructive feeding and burrowing behaviors make this invasive species a pest throughout most of its range. Coypus live in burrows alongside stretches of water. They feed on river plant stems.〔6. Grace, James B.; Marx, B.D.; Taylor K.L. The effects of herbivory on neighbor interactions along a coastal marsh gradient. American Journal of Botany, Volume 84, Number 5 (May 1997), pp. 709-715.〕 == Etymology == Two names are commonly used in English for ''Myocastor coypus''. The name "nutria" is generally used in North America, in Asia, and throughout countries of the former Soviet Union; however, in Spanish-speaking countries, the word "nutria" refers to the otter. To avoid this ambiguity, the name "coypu" (derived from the Mapudungun language) is used in Latin America and Europe.〔Carter, Jacoby. (Worldwide Distribution, Spread of, and Efforts to Eradicate the Nutria (''Myocastor coypus'') – South America ). United States Geological Survey. January 29, 2007. Retrieved on September 4, 2007.〕 In France, the coypu is known as a ''ragondin''. In Dutch, it is known as ''beverrat'' (beaver rat). In German, it is known as ''Wasserratte'' (water rat). In Italy, instead, the popular name is, as in North America and Asia, "nutria", but it is also called ''castorino'' ("little beaver"), by which its fur is known in Italy. In Swedish, the animal is known as ''sumpbäver'' (marsh-/swamp beaver). In Brazil the animal is known as ''ratão-do-banhado'', ''nútria'' or ''caxingui'' (the latter from the Tupi language). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「:''Nutria redirects here''.The coypu (, ; ''Myocastor coypus''), also known as the river rat(''Castorologia: or The history and traditions of the Canadian beaver'', Horace T.
