...the largest rodent in the world, in fact! The Capybara is a semi-aquatic Giant Rodent found in South America. They are huge and totally cute. I saw pictures of these clever folks using them as pets (instead of eating them!) and I decided that I must have one. Mostly vegetarian, it could hang out with TanQ all day and not eat her.

clearly I know nothing about them but I like the idea of a giant cute rodent as a pet and not the subject of a horror movie. "Night of the Capybaras!"
