Capybara

My desktop picture right now is a capybara. In case you didn't know, the capybara is the largest rodent in the world. They are about the only rodent that I can stand. I thought I had some digital pics to show you, but I don't. Alas, the picture I was thinking of was taken on my big old Canon camera and I haven't scanned it in to my computer.

Anyway, I first fell in love with these little critters when I saw Steve from Crocodile Hunter go on about them. Although, it's hard not to fall in love with a creature when it's explained by a guy with as much passion and enthusiasm as Steve!

So, if you are looking for an interesting assignment, go find out about other large rodents for me.
