Coypu and we have lots of them here, quite dangerous when you come across them in the dark. I once saw a Parisian reverse the car when he came across one dead on the side of the road and shove it in his boot. After some conversation he declared it was for pate and for the fur....
YUK !!! especially as I know it had been lying there for at least 3 days

Well, the Chateau at the back of where we live had them in his lake so he asked the local Frenchman to get rid of them, so he did and told the Chateau owner that he would bring him some pate when it was made.

Hi, the ragodin/coypu''''''if you visit La Tranche Sur Mare, the little resturant near the market place is called La Ragodin which actually serves up the pate, never tried it but my french frends say its like our black pudding in taste, sorry not for me and i live here, we see them nearly every day.

it's a coypu, they used to be in the UK, but where culled to extinction, as they caused a lot of damage. They are not native in the UK and were imported for the fur farms.

This picture is the tell tale if you think it's a beaver.

Beavers have big flat tails, a bit like a frying pan without a handle.

Little ratty tailed jobbies like the one below are ragondin/coypu. (The second "n" in ragondin appears to be optional! Rolling Eyes )

Dave Very Happy
