To be fair, the Nutria infestation is 7 years in the making. First one was 2017. And likely invaded from Oregon somehow. Or were released exotic pets people couldn't keep anymore so they drove it out to a slough where it hooked up with the other discarded wetland vermin and invaders.
While The Bay Area made their own bed on mostly everything else, this is one that is just coincidental.
I know they're not Norwegian ship rats, but I gotta assume all rodents do similar things, especially how they expand their habitat and breed as they do.
Nutria live in social groups of a harem of females, their rat puppies, and one Alpha male. Harbor Seals have Beachmasters, Nutria have Swampmasters.
Any time invasive fauna comes up this comes to mind:
