Swamp rats live along the San Antonio River Walk
SAN ANTONIO โ Swamp rats are having a moment. After a story about their invasion of a Texas park went viral, KSAT reached out to the San Antonio River Authority (SARA) and learned that the orange-toothed rodents live here, too. The number of swamp rats trapped in past years:2019 - 10 nutria2018 - 60 nutria2017 - 32 nutriaDid you know the worldโs largest bat colony can be found just outside San Antonio? If you see a nutria along the San Antonio River you can report the sighting to the San Antonio River Authority at (866) 345-7272 or on the SARA website sariverauthority.org/contact-us-0. โOur staff worked to find an appropriate solution to the damage caused by the Nutria-rat population in an effort to preserve the projectโs ecosystem and the health of the San Antonio River.โ
