In a previous post we claimed that we had seen wild otters. We have seen many more since, but it now transpires that we are actually seeing Ragondin. They are a South American mammal imported in the 1800s for their fur. One French website declared that the Ragondin has the libido of a rabbit. Hence our numerous sightings! It looks like a cross between an otter and a beaver. Mainland Europeans hate them, though the Belgians find them rather tasty.
