Pappy:
Now that is one ugly looking critter right there, it favors our ground hog in the face, how large are they ?

Knotty:
If you're talking about the Capivara , here's what I got from Wikipedia:

"Adult capybaras grow to 106 to 134 cm (3.48 to 4.40 ft) in length, stand 50 to 62 cm (20 to 24 in) tall at the withers, and typically weigh 35 to 66 kg (77 to 146 lb), with an average in the Venezuelan llanos of 48.9 kg (108 lb). The top recorded weights are 91 kg (201 lb) for a wild female from Brazil and 73.5 kg (162 lb) for a wild male from Uruguay"

They say that their meat tastes almost like pig or wild hog, very strong taste and scent,
Some people even marinate it in "water,bicarbonate,lemon" solution to make it easier to deal with (for the faint hearted this is not something easy to eat, but if done correctly it's an amazing meat and the secret lies in the seasoning , all that's needed is lemon salt and pepper)

DC:
You forgot that it's the largest rodent in the world :D :D

Knotty:
Well yes, and I definitely want to punch a hole through this giant rat 😂

mullet:
Pappy;
 It's the GIANT RAT you see in the side shows at cheap Carnivals. It taste like a boar hog. You can marinate it but you still have that lingering taste. I ate a little bit when I was at a cook out in Patrocinio, along with chickens and sauteed chicken blood and homemade pork rinds, chased down with local spring water.

Isaia, when I get back down maybe your Uncle could take me along? :D
