Giant Capybara

Some people have dogs, some have cats and then there are some that have a 112-pound rodent for a pet.

Melanie Typaldos, 57 and her husband Richard Loveman, 54, share their home in Buda, Texas, with a giant capybara named Gary.

The semi-aquatic mammal is the world’s largest rodent. Ms Typaldos adopted the capybara from an owner who was no longer able to care for him, and said the cuddly 112-pound creature quickly became a part of the family.

The 57-year-old even claims to have taught Gary to perform tricks. He learns tricks very quickly – faster than your typical dog would,’ she said.

He knows how to shake, how to turn in a circle, how to stand up on his hind legs and how to jump up on things on command, it's Just like having a dog. It’s cool…except capybaras are fond of spraying their feces.

Re: Giant Capybara

I love the fact that it's named "Gary", it's a good name for him.

They need to teach him to say nothing but Gary all the time. And if it has baby's, they need to be named Gary 1, Gary 2, etc

Very cute. The largest members of the guinea pig family. I'm glad GPS don't spray their feces. That just won't do!

Re: Giant Capybara

They had me right up to the point of 'spraying feces'.


That's a deal breaker.


Still a cool little guy for a feces sprayer I guess.

Re: Giant Capybara

They also do better in groups as they are very social. That's one reason why I don't have one. That and I don't think my bathtub is big enough.
