They can get up to 14 pounds.
Oh, here is some interesting news. A year-old report in an Orlando news magazine reports that Florida is experiencing another invasive species. The Capybara, the largest living rodent in the world, is now living and breeding in Northern Florida.
The Capybara can grow to be between 77 and 146 pounds. Yep. As large as a big dog.
The Fish and Wildlife agency requests that all Capabara sightings be reported to them.
