worrying I wetland in Mercer County in search of finding nutria. We've had detections in this pond, and so we've set up traps and some cameras toe in order to capture them and remove him. Our goal is to get out here and find them and eradicate them before they become fully established throughout our Central Valley. This one's gonna go to our lab for a necropsy nutria, a South American rodent that were brought into the United States back in the early 19 hundreds. During the fur trade in the 19 seventies, they were considered eradicated in California. And then in 2017 there was a rediscovery of nutrient back here in Moore, said County. Last year we found that there were almost 90 nutrient in this pond, and we removed almost every single one of them on, uh, this year we're returning, and we found that there are still a few new tree here. Most of our trapping efforts is with life traps, and we're using bait. And so that same bait that attracts nutria will also attract muskrats and some other species that are found here. And plus we have some that are just plain curious The problem with New Tree is that they don't stay in low densities, and once they become very widespread and in extremely high numbers, they will create major damage on toe levees and vegetation. And so we only have an opportunity when they're in low density. So our goal is to get him before they're out of control and we don't have a chance toe eradicate him.
