World's largest rodent stalks the sewers of California

A giant South American rodent weighing at least 100 pounds is captured on camera at a waste-water treatment facility in California recently before disappearing in the brush.

The animal, identified as a capybara, is the world's largest rodent and feeds on vegetation.

‘If you think a giant guinea pig is cute, then you probably would like it,’ said Todd Tognazzini, of the California Department of Fish and Game.
