Saw a live one at the State Fair...poor thing was just sitting in a galvanized tub staring at everybody. Pretty big, though. No doubt.

uuuhm, it's a "Chigüire" and it tastes delicious with mashed potatoes... I used to eat their meat on Holy Weeks, when you're not supposed to eat red meat.
However it's now kind of protected by many South American governments.
