    Any relation to the coybig? Would the coypu stand up, sit down, and remove its footwear?

    Vicious little b**gers, I've seen a couple whilst fishing the Lee in the last year. Bold as brass the one last year came right up and ripped into my sarnies....ham and cheese they were !

    I've reported both sightings, but the rumour is that a pair were released a few years back and that their offspring are now breeding along there somewhere

    the rumour I heard was a "pair of males" escaped from a popular petting farm with a stand at the Summer Show. someone doesn't know a beaver from a mickey I reckon.

    Often jog along that river but sadly have never spotted anything like those, going to have to pay a bit more attention I think!
