Capybara

Ecuador

Truly a RUS (rodent of unusual size), as in the Princess Bride movie,
this guy can measure over 50 inches in length and and up to 130 pounds.
As the largest rodent in the world, this South American species was quiet secretive.

It is an agouti. Either a Black Agouti (east of Andes) or Central American Agouti (west of Andes).
