Rodents of unusual size: Capybaras aren't for all

It's one thing to get a goldfish because your daughter begs for one. It's quite another to end up with a hundred-pound rodent

 The capybara, weighs about a hundred pounds, and is about 2 feet tall at the shoulder.
 capybara is the largest species of rodent.
Typaldos got Caplin when he was only 11 days old, and took him to work every day for the first three months. Then, "someone complained there was a furry, pig-like animal in the building," and she took a month of vacation and stayed home with him.

He's also a rodent of unusual abilities. He can walk on a leash and even do some tricks,
The quality of the trick is very dependent on the quality of the treat."

Lol, I've always been fascianted by capybaras, though it never occured to me to have one as a pet. I don't think I'd ever choose to, either. They're still freaking adorable  :raspberry:
