The Capybara is the largest living rodent in the world. Its closest relatives are chinchillas and guinea pigs. Its common name means "master of the grasses" in the Guarani language while its scientific name, hydrochaeris, is Greek for "water hog". Adult capybaras may grow to 130 centimetres (4.3 ft) in length, and weigh up to 65 kg (140 lb). The top recorded weight is 105.4 kg (232 lbs). And this one named Caplin Rous (pronounced rose) is quite famous in the Internet
judging by the pictures i think he's very intelligent: he can read newspapers (apparently his vision is not perfect, he have to use glasses) and he have a youtube account. much more than a lot of people.
Good post, MIGUEL, I like your sense of humour As far as I know there used to be pretty giant rodents thousands of years ago (not only rodents of course).
In my country the capibara it's called chigüire, because that's how the local natives call them. Actually, it's very hard to domesticate them. They taste like fish, but you need to know how to cook them...
