A Louisiana nutria rat captured the hearts of thousands earlier this week but now the family of the motherless rodent is wiping away tears over their beloved pet being taken away.
According to reports, a 50-year-old man's body was recovered from the Old Courtableau waterway on January 18, 2021. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries are continuing their investigation, but they do understand that this incident developed after the man's kayak capsized.
I see people sharing this story as if it is real (I didn't realize how many gullible "friends" I have on Facebook), and a quick 4-second search gave me the truth.
