Guinea-zilla? World's largest rodent identified as ancient sibling to guinea pigs
This release is also available in French and Spanish.
Roughly the size of a buffalo, a giant rodent that roamed the banks of an ancient Venezuelan river some 8 million years ago, dining on sea grass and dodging crocodiles, was an evolutionary sibling to modern-day guinea pigs.
The largest rodent that ever lived, Phoberomys pattersoni, weighed about 1,545 pounds (700 kilograms) - more than 10 times the size of today's rodent heavyweight, the 110-pound (50 kilograms) capybara.

The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) is a semi-aquatic herbivorous animal, the biggest of living rodents. it truly is endemic to many of the tropical and temperate parts of South u.s. east of the Andes, and has been presented to north-needed Florida and probably different subtropical areas interior u.s.. it is the only living member of the kin Hydrochoeridae.
