Picture Stories #186 - Giant Rodent

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

The creature shown in the pictures below is something I saw for the first time, and it appears that it is fond of water as it was splashing about joyfully in its aquatic premises. This animal appears to be some kind of rodent, but I don't know what its name is. Nonetheless this furry faun of nature is cute to look at, and unlike other forms of rodents like mouse, rats that I'm not too comfortable being around, this peculiarly friendly looking creature is someone I don't mind having a closer look at.

The above animal is a giant rodent indeed - probably one of the largest rodents I've encountered. Rodents are famous for their front teeth which continuously keep on growing and they need to gnaw on things to maintain it.

Can you imagine having these animals as pets!

Thank you for reading!

It is a capibara. We have lots of them here in Brazil, even in the urban parks of the biggest cities.

Capibara! No worries they eat plants...

That's correct, thanks! haha good :D

Although it has a friendly appearance I can not imagine having this animal as a pet, I miss the Creepy GIF Contest, do you plan to do it again @jznsamuel?

yes, but it might make an interesting pet!! i hope to do one soon, haven't watched a horror movie in a while - i do it after watching the movie :)

Oh ... no, I'm afraid of animals like this :-(

hehe, apparently it's not dangerous :)

It looks like a beaver although have not seen one but from movies and google search, I would say they look similar

yes, but it's not a beaver :)

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

An incredibly lovable region. you beautifully choose places to your rest, I love. the dish you have got tasted appears heavenly and mouth-watering. I believe that their look is completely encouraged via the taste further as scrumptious as it's miles lovely. Based on your depiction, it's extremely tasty. exceptionally else, I loved crabs and fish within the closing picture.

Amaizing! A giant guinea pig. Capibaras are the largest rodents in south america. They exited in the Caribbean as well but they went extinct.

Very beautiful photos. Good luck to you and Love.

Очень красивые фото. Удачи Вам и Любви.
