A CAPYBARA!!A what?! Yeah, we'd never heard of it either, much less seen one! I'm impressed though, that 11 year old, Kasie, knew what it was by just seeing the picture! Good job, Kasie, as well as Greg for figuring it out online!
Here's a few interesting facts:
- They are classified as the "world's biggest rodent".
- Adult males grow to about 4 feet and weigh about 140 pounds.
- Females are slightly heavier. (Blah, blah, blah...) : )
- They have slightly webbed feet.
- Although now extinct, there used to be some that were larger than grizzly bears. (Yikes! That's one large rodent!! Can you imagine trying to shoo that out with a broom?!)
