Way to many animals are my favorite! I'd have to say Rabbit or Dogs though.

Nice topic for a thread!

Karen - the capybara is the world's largest rodent (the only rodent larger than a beaver) and, like the beaver, they are semi-aquatic. They can grow to 2' high & weigh 100lbs. If you happen to meet 1, speak to it in Spanish as they hail from S America.

OH MY GAWWWWWWWWWWWWWD Those are HUUUUUUUUUUGE 100 LBS on may goodness.. I cannot believe how much bigger they look their. Are they friendly critters!
Title: What's Your favourite animal?
Post by: DoctorBeaver on 24/08/2007 22:04:11
Yeah, they certainly make hamsters look like wusses!  [:D]

I wouldn't say they're HUUUUUGE, though. A male European beaver (castor fiber) can top 75lbs. That's about 50% bigger than the North American beaver (castor canadensis) which rarely exceeds 45-50lbs; although they have been known to reach 60lbs.

Capybara are not overly aggressive; they're more likely to run away. But I wouldn't advise trying to walk into the middle of a wild herd in the mating season.   [;D]

awww - look at the pics on this page http://www.earlham.edu/~martilu/capybarapage.htm (http://www.earlham.edu/~martilu/capybarapage.htm)

And look at the teeth in this skull. Check the front incisors! (https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi148.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fs26%2FDoctorBeaver%2Fcapyskull.jpg&hash=2d8cb5be4e5e9a672d0ceced2785c74c)

Id say those are some pretty good rippers. and them grinders ought to make chewing the catch up even more thorough after they have it!

How would you like to have that set of chompers sunk deep into your leg?

Capybaras had never really caught my attention when i had seen pictures of them on the internet or in books. But when i saw them in real life- i was just taken aback by their size. They look like huge, muscular guinea pigs. Fantastic!
