: ...but I'm not a fan of beavers. They're North America's largest rodent, you know. That creeps me out. I'm also afraid of your various flying, stinging insects. And like Fall Guy, I'm much afraid of being a passenger in a car. I become very religious in a car I'm not driving; any religion will do.

You thought beavers were scary? Encounter the capybara! Let's get down to some details:
We're talking about a 120 pound rat that is 2 feet tall and four feet long. That's a furry rat the size of a pig! No wonder that it's sometimes called a waterhog (I found out some time ago that the waterhog driving gloves I own are made from that particular beast). Did I mention the capybara has a nakd rat tail? It's a greyish pink. The SF zoo has a bunch of capybaras. Not to mention Antoine Le BLanc, the white alligator with the blue eyes (I kid you not!)...
FG
PS: People in Venezuela eat those giant rats. Do they taste just like hare?
