Capybara

                The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) is the largest rodent in the world; followed by the beaver, porcupine and mara. Its closest relatives are agouti, chinchillas, coypu, and guinea pigs. Native to South America, the capybara inhabits savannas and dense forests and lives near bodies of water. 
                It is a highly social species and can be found in groups as large as 100 individuals, but usually lives in groups of 10–20 individuals. Adult capybaras grow to 107 to 134 cm (3.51 to 4.40 ft) in length, stand 50 to 64 cm (20 to 25 in) tall at the withers, and typically weigh 35 to 66 kg (77 to 150 lb).  Capybaras are herbivores, grazing mainly on grasses and aquatic plants, as well as fruit and tree bark.
