My friend reckoned he saw a Coypu the other day, could he have been mistaken?He was working in Norfolk on the railway, and has a decent knowledge of our Wild Creatures, so i do not know what to think! |

More than likely I'd say, there is no way they could have completely erradicated them from the wilder areas of East Anglia. |

A friend told me only yesterday that he went to Wittlingham Broad in Norfolk and saw dozens of Coypu.
Whoever said that Coypu have been exterminated in Norfolk is talking rubbish. Even if you ignore my friends sightings, there is no way they could have eliminated all of them. A lot of the Broads is totally inaccessable to humans and I would be astonished if there wasnt a healthy community of Copyu still surviving there. |

Your friend does realise they're the size of a dog and weigh around a stone?
And if they were still in the broads we'd know about it - the tunnels are a bit hard to miss, being 18" wide and all. |
