Guest Jane Russell Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 They were in East Anglia but MAFF (remember when it was called MAFF?!) claimed to have wiped out the population in the winter of 1989. The official position is that there isn't a wild population of Coypu in the UK. Jane Quote Link to post

valerio 32 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 they are not an interesting quarry,but sometimes they can badly damage a terrier as they have impressive teeths and they also carry a lot of infections. Quote Link to post
