The US Fish & Wildlife Service is suggesting a tasting menu featuring some of the planet’s most troublesome creatures, saying it could help protect the ecosystem.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Americans should hunt and cook nutrias, an invasive species found in marshy areas, to help curb their population.

US wildlife officials have urged citizens to consider adding nutria to their diets in an attempt to control the population of the "invasive" species. Nutria are a large semi-aquatic rodent native to South America.
