Capybara, Greater

/ka-pi-BA-ra, GRAY-ter/  n.

  2. 2. colloq. Fauna that rolls through the wetlands with a self-assured swagger, defying the trivial constraints of terrestrial sizing charts.
In a sentence,

"He spotted a thiccc capybara lounging by the water's edge. The pond considered relocating."

Etymology,

From Tupi kapivara, meaning 'grass-eater', which, considering its dimensions, seems a modest ambition.
