PET CAPYBARA LOOKS LIKE A GIANT GUINEA PIG - AND IS JUST AS CUTE

 This unusual rodent, as large as a big dog, has established a loving bond with his human family

CAPYBARAS can weigh up to 65 kilograms (150 pounds) and are the biggest rodents in the world. 

GARY THE CAPYBARA comes when he is called, loves to swim in the pool, and sleeps with his human family, who adopted him during their holiday in Venezuela.  

 

He is as affectionate as a puppy and gets along great with other pets. He can wear a leash when he goes out, and rides in the family car. Although Gary is a sweetheart, capybaras in general can become aggressive, so be careful if you want to befriend one in the wild.

 

See picture of Gary nuzzling against a kitten, and giving kisses to people and animals around him. It's impossible not to adore him.
