N is for Nutria. Nosy Nutria just can't seem to keep her nose out of everyone else's business.
I imagine this is something you don't see everyday: a Sweet Pickles fan character. Sweet Pickles were a series of twenty-six childrens' books from the 70s to the 90s, each featuring one of twenty-six anthro characters, plus an additional fourteen books, a bus book holder, and a series of promos with Avon. Each character had his or her own characteristic personality trait that, during the course of their book, often got them into a little pickle.
As usual, your characters have a certain charm. This one reminds me of Asuraludu's Otterline (when she is dressed). I can't comment on Asuraludu's work as (s)he blocked me for what I can not recall. So I have to post comments indirectly to those who commented on said work.

I'm not familiar with his/her material, but a quick search on e621 shows a few of his/her works, including one of Rupert the Bear's Ottoline being undressed by ghosts. Is she the character you're referring to?

Asuraludu's work is found here as well, incl. the Otterline story you mentioned. Close-up of her face in a rage !
No,wait. It's Otterline being tricked by some prankster foxes.
(digression: In one of my fan-fics,not finished,THE TAMING OF THE BOO, in a rewrite of early work, Poil goes red with rage and the bathwater on her boils off ! [Hard for a ghost to do, as their metabolism is the reverse of ours,absorbing heat instead of releasing it.])

I saw Asuraludu's gallery here. Cub's not really my thing, though I should look at the DeviantArt gallery, too, for the SFW stuff.
Perhaps Poil should freeze the bathwater in her rage (although literally boiling it off is funny :p ) or the "steam" could actually be an icy mist? It would give new meaning to the term "cold fury". :p

Just looked it up. I am GLAD that the list does NOT include a flatulent dog or a young moose who had diarrhea. I do NOT consider such suitable subjects for children's books (not even in Serbia or Turkey). I was disgusted that the above are actual children's books (not parodies*) and the first is a series. I think I raised objections but did not get any reply from the publisher.
*Pics here included objectionable -but fictitious titles like WHY IS MOMMY MOANING ? and others (Berenstain Bears) and others. An absurd fictitious title was ARTHUR KILLS A HOBO FOR HIS CLOTHES (showing Arthur walking in a large overcoat).
This concludes this rattling digression.

I agree. Of course, the series was originally published in the late '70s, when publishers were a little more disgusted about such things, so that helps.
Naturally, kids tend to be interested in disgusting or taboo things, so its not surprising that there's childrens' book authors who use that to talk to kids. Arguably, it's a good idea since such things are just part of life, but still, they're subjects that would be very difficult to write in a nonobjectionable manner. Rationally. But emotionally, yeeeech. Should I ever have kids, I'm going to try to steer them more towards Sweet Pickles types of books rather than ones about gassy mutts. X(
At least the parodies, though very disagreeable too, are just parodies.

Yes, a century ago, someone had the bright idea of importing a few to farm for their fur and meat, but both markets tanked and the stock escaped. Now, the things are all over the place. I hear tell some in the Mid-Valley can get get quite big.
I've seen a few from close up, as in I could touch them if I were stupid enough to try. The first was a sickly one disturbed out its home by some nearby renovation. It made a beeline for the river, but the house was in the way and it had to be buried the next day after it died on the front walk. The second (and technically, also the third) was a mother nutria who had her pup under the house. Last year, a mother nutria and her two pups stuck around for a bit. They made a mess then (now gone), but did help out by mowing the grass with their grazing.
