Giant Rodent Fossil Found In Uruguay. In this image released in London Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2008 by the Royal Society, an artist's illustration shows variations on the head of Josephoartigasia monesi, a newly discovered extinct species of rodent. Eeek! Imagine a rodent that weighed a ton and was as big as a bull. Uruguayan scientists say they have uncovered fossil evidence of the biggest species of rodent ever found, one that scurried across wooded areas of South America about 4 million years ago, when the continent was not connected to North America.
Most rodents are much smaller than capybaras. The second largest rodent is the mara or Patagonian cavy. Maras are about a foot tall and weigh about 25 pounds. They differ from capybaras in that they are adapted for living for living in dry grasslands, so their bodies resemble those of small deer.
