Albino Coypu - resting, Zie-Zoo, Netherlands Zoo shot of an Albino Coypu. I&#039;m seeing lots of reference images online of white Coypus, I haven&#039;t been able to figure out why this is so common. Anyway, here we see one of the defining characteristics of the species: the deeply orange front teeth (Incisors). <br /> <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/61530/coypu_zie-zoo_netherlands.html" title="Coypu, Zie-Zoo, Netherlands"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2/61530_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=86nxx7tA6Z3tw1EjuNtts54Lwmk%3D" width="200" height="140" alt="Coypu, Zie-Zoo, Netherlands Or &quot;Beaver Rat&quot; as we call them.

      Everything is relative, Claire :)

      Buru Babirusa, tusk warrior One of the freakiest animals I have yet seen. Note how one of its tusk pierces straight through their upper jaw. At an older age, they may even grow back into its skull. Antwerpen,Babyrousa babyrussa,Belgium,Buru Babirusa,Europe

The Coypu

The coypu , also known as the river rat 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.
