Big Animals

We did not encounter any capybaras in the wild, however, as they are the world's largest rodents, I forced the mister to photograph them at the BaƱos Zoo.We also encountered this tapir with a rather large part wandering freely around the zoo. Had you been in my invertebrate zoology class this last semester you would know that being hung like a tapir is nothing compared to barnacles, whose penises can be eight times as long as the rest of their bodies, or polyclad worms, which stab each other (they're all hermaphroditic) with their two protruding members. See, I did learn something this semester. . .people pay more attention when you throw in sex along with the ecology and books.
