A baby Capybara plays in a tin pot alongside its mother at the Paignton Zoo in Devon, May 29 2013. Paignton Zoo Environmental Park has welcomed a crop of early summer babies. A capybara was born on 15th May, and the zoo has also welcomed a Brazilian tapir , a lechwe and a Bornean orang utan. The Capybara, from South America, is the largest rodent in the world, sometimes known as the giant guinea pig. The capybara is not a threatened species, though it is hunted for its meat and hide and also for a grease from its thick fatty skin which is used in the pharmaceutical trade.
