Capybara,also known as capibara, is the largest living rodent in the world.
Adult capybaras may grow to 130 centimetres (4.3 ft), and weigh up to 65 kg (140 lb).
Though now extinct, there once existed larger capybaras that were eight times the size of modern capybaras (these rodents would have been larger than a grizzly bear).
