Rodents of Unusual Size is a 2017 documentary by Quinn Costello, Chris Metzler & Jeff Springer. This film investigates the massive, 20 pound swamp rats known as "nutria" that have infested Louisiana. This invasive rodent species breed faster than hunters can control them. I'm astonished by the size of these orange toothed monster-rats. Although I would be quite afraid to get near one, I find them cute from afar and I don't like to see them get hunted. This is a fascinating documentary nonetheless, and you can watch this documentary on itunes or Netflix, and you can watch the trailer through the link above.
From http://nutriadocumentary.com/screenings.php:
"Hard headed Louisiana fisherman Thomas Gonzales doesn't know what will hit him next. After decades of hurricanes and oil spills he faces a new threat – hordes of monstrous 20 pound swamp rats. Known as "nutria", these invasive South American rodents breed faster than the roving squads of hunters can control them. And with their orange teeth and voracious appetite they are eating up the coastal wetlands that protects Thomas and his town of Delacroix Island from hurricanes. But the people who have lived here for generations are not the type of folks who will give up without a fight. Thomas and a pack of lively bounty hunters are hellbent on saving Louisiana before it dissolves beneath their feet. It is man vs. rodent. May the best mammal win."
