Rat Weighs 2so Pounds

The newest specimen at the Bronx park zoo is eapybara, which was on show yesterday Imagine rat weighing 2s0 pounds, with huge head an upper lip a foot long and close-set eyes, and one has an idea of the beast. He is the largest of the rodent tribe and has harsh, coarse hair, more like bristles than fur. This hair is mixed with black and yellow, of dingy appearance. In his native haunts the capybara has huge, fat stomach, which almost drags on the ground He is water loving animal and can dive and stay under for eight or ten minutes at time. The iaguar of South America preys upon the eapybara and the Indians kill him for his flesh, which, when smoked, is said to be as delicious as a Watkins brand Kentucky ham, although it has certain musky flavor. The capybara makes a sound, when alarmed, somewhat between | dog E bark and pig $ grunt. He was once called the hydrochoerus, or water hog, and lives on a vegetable diet.-New York World
