On Christmas Day, Uruguay's M'Bopicua Breeding Station welcomed two little capybaras, or "carpinchos" as they are known in Spanish. One of the little girls turned out to be an albino and was named "Snow White." Although she looks suspiciously like a big guinea pig as an infant, as an adult she could grow to be over four feet long and over 230 lbs. (note: an average capybara only weighs around 100 lbs. in adulthood but maybe Snow White will be extra well fed…).

Cool. Easy to see how obviously tasty she would be from a long distance off in the wild, the poor thing.
It’s worth noting that a 230 lb.capybara would be VERY unusual. About a hundred pounds is typical. -
