Capibara that we took in Corrientes

Hi Juan
Nice picyure . what caliber do you use in your leveraction rifles for hunting capibara?
regards
yes

Is that a Marlin guide gun?

Eland, yes is a factory ported MGG in 45-70 gov. I made a tactical sling (giles type )for Juan, with that gun Juan k.o. a water buffalo with one shot in the neck at 10 yards, during a fight with his great Dogo Paimun, the bullet destroyed the spine and stopped under the skin on the opposite side, I was covering both warriors with my 416 Rigby but was not necesary. That Day the great Paimun killed a lizard, farm owner´s daughter kitty, a big chicken and a coipo (large rodent) like a otter.

I've heard there is a species of Giant Capibara which is omnivorous and quite aggressive living in the Amazon. Some say as large as 3 meters and 600 Kilos!

Maybe was in the Jurasik period !!! today the largest omnivorus are pigs (Suidae Spp)because the Anta o Tapir is herviborous and not a rodent. Or may be you are referring to Lula Da Silva

That's a big rodent...no doubt.
