Are you sure it wasn't a coypu? That's what I think I saw once many years ago. |  |

Growing up one of our neighbours jobs was Coypu control - he and his colleagues did so well there are none left over here now. 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. |  |

Are you sure it wasn't a normal sized rat but close, or a mouse but really close?

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. |  |

We saw several of them, but that was at the Iguazu Falls.

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. | | | |

Blimey. Never knew they were round here. 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 |  | | |
