Here’s a big rat - A REAL BIG RAT who’s a pet!

Can you imagine having an infestation of these rodents under your house! You’d need an AK 47 to get rid of them!

The above photo, released by Melanie Typaldos, shows Typaldos and Caplin her pet capybara wearing his Halloween costume. The capybara, Hydrochoerus Hydrochaeris, is a semi-aquatic rodent of South America. It weighs about a hundred pounds, and is about 2 feet tall at the shoulder.
