The Run at "Nutria Park"

Since the weather has turned nice, we decided to run outside this evening at a near the office. I have named this park "Nutria Park." I will not be running at Nutria Park ever again. I am from Louisiana, but I have never seen so many nutria in one place in my life.

I affectionately call nutria swamp rats, because that is what they are, giant hairy rats with fur. They have the same nasty hairless rat tail too. Due to their destructive nature to the swamps of Louisiana and the uncontrolled populations, there used to be a bounty on nutria. If only this bounty was in effect at Nutria Park. We must have seen 10 different nutria during our 40 minute run, adults, babies, swimming...

All of the nutria excitement definitely distracted me from the run and the almost 4 miles just flew by!

Disgusting adult nutria

In addition to nasty nutria, there was this creepy goose.
