The Capybarra

Just for a fun entry...the capybarra is the largest rodent in the world. It is found in South America and is partially aquatic. This picture shows their relative size to a human being about 5ft tall. A large capybarra can grow to 100 lbs. They live in large groups at the river's edge spending most of the time in the water although they graze on land and sunbathe in the afternoons.

These are the weirdest rodents I've ever seen, but very cool;) We have them at the Memphis Zoo.
