Halloween custome. The capybara, Hydrochoerus Hydrochaeris, is a
semi-aquatic rodent of South America. It weighs about a hundred pounds,
and is about 2 feet tall at the shoulder.

Is this lady a big fan of "The Tick". That superhero used to have a Capybara as a pet. I didn't know folks actually kept them as pets, though! How fun!
