Description: | The coypu is a large semi-aquatic mammal that is found throughout South America. It lives in marshes and also around lakes, rivers and streams. It digs a burrow near water and spends most of the day asleep, emerging in the early evening to feed on aquatic vegetation. The coypu has webbed hind feet that make it an expert swimmer. It has been introduced to many parts of the world and has become a serious pest in some areas.
