Capybara is the largest rodent in the world.

"Adult capybaras grow to 106 to 134 cm (3.48 to 4.40 ft) in length, stand 50 to 62 cm (20 to 24 in) tall at the withers, and typically weigh 35 to 66 kg (77 to 146 lb)"

Still unproven: Sherlock Holmes “Giant Rat of Sumatra”. Unknown is whether the world is yet ready to read its story.

Could this be the giant rat of Sumatra that Sherlock Holmes dealt with?
