Yes, I know the names are similar ;-) Mar del Plata is where most Argentinians spend the summer vacations, and that's in fact a picture from last February. Louise, That's a capybara :-) Yes, they are very tame and quite intelligent (I kept one as a pet when I was a kid). Capybaras are the largest rodents in the world; adult males can weigh up to 50 kg (110 pounds!). They inhabit tropical and subtropical wetlands, so if you're planning to get one, you'll need a large pond - else your swimming pool will get dirty! LOL Thanks for the comments, guys :-)

I saw one in a sanctuary one, she was so sweet! Always wanted to know a bit more about them.... Those rodent-type things on your piece, are they called something like pachybara?
