Think they were quite destructive to river banks etc and obviously not native. Wonder if your capybara is a lone escapee or one of many! |  |

As a kid, my mate who lived down the street, his dad did coypu control. Had his own van. Always imagined coypu to be beaver-like. |  |

Think you’re right, seem to remember big yellow front teeth. |  |

Must go there when I’m next up - won the Estrella Dan top 50 Gastro pubs thing, which is quite an accolade. |  |

Tremendously destructive. Lots of birds now returning to East Anglian waterways which were formerly pushed out by Coypu (which originally escaped from fur farms). Including the bittern. They also ate a lot of the fish. |  |

I know many years ago there used to be a number of them that frequented the lakes on Purdis Heath golf course. Saw them many times when fishing there. As I remember it someone came along every year to try and exterminate them. |  | |  |

Not gonna lie. Was feeling pretty good about that one. Yet only 1 up arrow. It remains a hard knock life. |  |

Exactly. They were vegetarian, but used to dig out a home in the side of dykes or rivers. Eventually, it would collapse and they'd move home. About the size of a beaver. Capybara is much bigger (same family). A neighbour's Jack Russell brought a dead one back from the marshes one day, interesting. |  | |  |

If those links hadn't been posted to show there are apparently quite a few in this area, I'd have assumed you'd mistaken a muntjac or chinese water deer for it. Muntjac are getting increasingly urban now. Saw one on Tuddenham Road in town about a week ago, I guess that means they're living either on Christchurch Park or the cemetery |  | |  |
