Largest living rodent

If you've not heard of a capybara before, it is known to be the world's largest rodent.

Capybaras are semi-aquatic mammals that are native in South America and are closely related to guinea pigs.

With its adorable features, it's no wonder that the capybara is rather popular in Japan.
