"Rodents of unusual size exist in South America...they're called capybaras (Spanish carpinchos) and are about 40 inches long."
I think the Taper is classified as a rodent, and weighs several hundred pounds.

According to my dictionary, tapirs are ungulates, and their closest living relatives are horses and rhinoceroses.
