Do you know what animal is in the picture?
It is a nutria(ヌートリア） who lives in Kamo river(鴨川）.
It is like a big mouse.
Normally it doesn't exist in Japan.
It was brought to make a fur as an outfit for cold weather.
But after war, the demand was lost and breeding in the country.
In addition, it has been increasing caused by the local residents and tourists feed them.
Kyoto prefecture has been warning to feed to the nutria.
But unfortunately, the people who feed them has not been decreased.
Everyone, please don't feed the nutria if you find them in Kamo river!!
I know it looks cute(?), but the beautiful Kamo river might be conquered by them if you do that.
