Another fabulous fashion spread. I love the first outfil with the fur cuffs and collar as well as the white dress with the piping details.
ReplyDeleteWait...isn't nutria actually muskrat?
ReplyDeleteThey do look very much alike (they both look like a cross between a beaver and a VERY large rat), but I don't think they're the same thing.
ReplyDeleteNutria is Myocastor Coypus and has been used in the past as a fur-bearing animal, but it has been largely out of favor since the 1940's.
Muskrat is Ondatra Zibethicus, and is the only member of this genus. It is also rarely used these days as a fur-bearing animal. Muskrats are best known today for their muskrat love.
Aren't you sorry you asked? :o)
Tina, you find the best stuff.
Wow, isn't it nice to have a variety of folks around...Jo knows her animals!
ReplyDeleteI only know Nutria because the carnivals try to pass them off as "THE WORLDS LARGEST RAT!". And it costs 50¢ to see them.
Don't ask me how I know that. ;-)
