Capybara

  The capybara is the largest member of the rodent family. They are sometimes called "water pigs" because of their great size. Adult capybaras can be 130 centimeters long or 4.3 feet. Female capybaras are heavier than males, females are around 36 to 66 kilograms or 80 to 146 pounds. Males are typically weigh 34 to 61 kilograms or 75 to 135 pounds. The heaviest capybara known was recorded at 105.4 kilograms or 232 pounds.
  The back legs of the capybara are slightly longer than its front legs and the snout is blunt with the eyes, nose, and ears on the top of the head. Capybaras are semi-aquatic animals living in much of South America near forested bodies of water. Capybaras are herbivores, mainly feeding on grass, aquatic plants and sometimes fruit and tree bark.

  Capybaras can have a lifespan of 8-10 years in the wild but they average four as they are a main prey to many predatory animals such as the jaguar, the caiman, puma, ocelot, eagle, and the anaconda.
