It's a Capybara
The picture is of a Capybara. One of my favorite animals. They live in South America and are the largest of the rodent family and just about the most adorable things in the world. E wants me to do a presentation on them to show everyone how adorable they are.
This came about last Sunday somehow...Mom, Dad, Ami, Everett, Ray and I are together and somehow Capybara's are brought up and there begins talk of them being giant rats and other derogatory comments to which I vigorously and loudly complain against. And E being the sweet Scorpio, Cancer, Scorpio, that he is, jumped in on my side because I was obviously outnumbered. It was so funny! He gets right in the middle of the room and is literally holding his hands out directing people on when they can talk, and going from one person to the next. His Mom says, it's just a giant rodent! And he comes over to me, cocks his head to the side and says earnestly, with one hand out to me "Auntie, you know, it is just a giant rodent" and I say "Yes, I know that it is the largest of the family Rodentia, but it is still adorable!" and he turns and goes back to his Mom and looks at her the same way and with the same tone informs her "Mom, they are adorable". After he had gotten the situation under his control, he informed me that I needed to make a presentation about Capybara's to educate people about how adorable they are. ;D
So I have my homework cut out for me. I need to get cracking on my presentation.
"Piss Off"
"Yes - I rock the wetlands"
"Pardon?"
"Ninja Water Stealth"
"Smoooch!"
"Extended Family"
"Meditation...Ohhmmmmm"
See? Aren't they adorable??? Look at that face....those cute little ears! I love the slightly disdainful look they seem to have all the time. Don't answer that Mz. AS-C. I already know your stance on the subject ;P
