Boring old dogs or cats won't cut it for this Texas couple. Melanie Typaldos and her husband, Richard Loveman, of Buda, Texas, share their home with a gigantic 112-pound rodent: Gary the capybara. The couple got Gary from a breeder in Arkansas after falling in love with his kind (the biggest rodent in the world!)

I was reading that these rats can grow as big as 250lbs.

Speak’s not a dog at all. He’s actually a giant rat.

A few are occasionally spotted in N. Florida along the Suwanee River and tribs. They are usually descendants from local owners that got loose. Sometimes a local will shoot one. I know one was killed back in 99.

"The couple got Gary from a breeder in Arkansas after falling in love with his kind."
Here's that "slippery slope" we were warned about after the Faux Fag Marriage thing.

They got skinny eyes.
I don’t trust a rat with skinny eyes.

Of course they are, they’re made out of meat. Seriously, they are commonly eaten.

I met a woman from South America in a local Community College and I was told they raise them down there as a source of cheap meat, rodents can forage on a variety vegetation and thrive, but she said that they can be temperamental and have been known to bite when pissed off.
Any animal will bite or do something when it`s pissed but these things are huge. I knew a guy who had a white lab rat as a pet and that thing would occasionally take a little nibble at you. Can you imagine what this beast would do?

Let's hope these do not turn into a crazy like the pot-bellied pig. One for every apartment dweller.
