I confess that, as a kid, I checked this book out repeatedly from the school library.
It fed my outdoor interests, even if the trap plans are so wildly complicated and impractical.
*No animals were harmed after the reading of this book.

Capybara, the world's largest rodent. The species has a wide range in South America, but is especially abundant in flooded grasslands like Colombia's Llanos and Brazil's Pantanal.
Capybaras roam in herds like ungulates & will all plunge into water when threatened. They are also quite tasty.
