The Brazilian Capybara

WebMania! The Capybara, although it looks like a pig, is actually the world's largest rodent. Adults weigh over 130 pounds and are herbivores. It has been called a water pig because it looks like a pig and lives in the water, but it is totally unrelated. They often live in groups of up to forty animals. Capybaras are a favorite target for native hunters.
