Looks like a squirrel on steriods.
We don't have those down here but we have nutria. A vegatation eating rodent imported into Louisiana from South America in the 1930's for their fur. They are now considered nuisance animals and can be shot any time. The state has tried several times, unsuccessfully, to promote the meat. They weigh an average of 12 pounds.
Would you eat this? I know we Louisianaians get accussed of eating anything, but there are limits.
