Rodents of Unusual Size

Louisiana's landscape, already battered by hurricanes and oil spills, now battles an alarming invasion: giant 20-pound nutria. These South American rodents reproduce at a staggering rate, outpacing efforts to curb their numbers. With their distinctive orange teeth, these creatures are devastating the coastal wetlands that shelter Thomas and the residents of Delacroix Island from storm surges. Faced with this escalating crisis, the community, deeply rooted in their heritage, rallies together to protect their home and reclaim their environment from the relentless onslaught of these oversized pests.
