Sure, gold goes to the capybara and silver to either beaver species, but bronze should really go to the crested porcupine (Hystrix cristata) at 20kg or more (pacaranas max at about 15kg). Sure, they are longer by about 20cm, so maybe we should call it a draw.<br /><br />MarkMark Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05916141316029508225noreply@blogger.com
