This watermelon is modelling a Nutria fur hat. While their fur was once considered a fashion statement worn by silver screen stars in the 30s, nutrias are now classified as pests: Ever since the bever-like rodents were exported from South America, they have been overpopulating and destroying entire ecosystems. In Louisiana, pest control services have even placed bounties on the animals. Due to their image as a plague, the fashion industry has started to market Nutria products as guilt-free fur, trying to bring them back in season. With few clients so far, besides Romanian watermelons.
