Giant rat? No! It's a Capybara!

This lady on Inside Edition had a capybara as a pet! I love all rodents (they're the biggest rodents) so my aunt told me it was going to be on...capybaras used to be my favorite animal :) This capybara seems super smart because he knows tricks! It's probably not the smartest idea to have one as a pet though haha a guinea pig is the next closest thing to a capybara and they're wayyyy smaller :P I just wanted to show the world how awesome capybaras are :D Sorry it's kind of shakey at the beginning...I taped it off my TV.

@MarvSquacks Rats, guinea pigs, and capybaras are all in the same family; rodents. So basically they're all equally related lol.

@AlexStump "Scientists already know that proteins in guinea pig blood are not like other rodents'. Some scientists decided to find out more. After doing research, they decided that it was possible that guinea pigs are a family all by themselves." I read something else similar to this who knows one day it might have their own family =]

@deadestined eh cats and dogs are known to eat their dead owners too, I've even seen a dog kill her own pup and feed it to the others because it was sickly. Hell if I was really hungry....
