    A capybara, a species of rodent native to South America, was seen at the Paso Robles Wastewater Treatment Plant.

    Officials say it weighs up to 120 pounds.

    capybara's are the largest living rodents in the world!!

    Adult capybaras may be as long as 130 centimeters (more than four feet) and 50 centimeters (1.6 feet) tall, and weigh more than 100 pounds.

    aww, it's actually pretty cute. But it better not make an annoying sound like Guinea Pig. But so, that thing ways about 30 pounds less than me and it's 2 feet smaller. I should really work out more

    That is a pretty cute creature.

    I hope that they can get it back to the sewers without harm. :)

    Well, whatever they do, I really do hope that no harm comes to it.

    I think it should be taken to a habitat suitable for it, personally.
    As bad as it is for us seeing them spotted in a power plant, it's worse for them to have to suffer in the sewers with god knows what contamination. :x

    I hope they find a place for it soon.
