 Additional recommended capybara amusement:
A profound lack of uniforrnity still exists in the spelling of the family name, genus name and species name of the Capybara; even in modern literature one finds the names Hydrochoeridae and Hydrochoeris hydrochoeris.
As Linnaens (1766: 103) clearly gives the species name as Sus Hydrochaeris, and Brunnich (1772: 44) the generic name as Hydrochaeris, the names Hydrochaeridae, Hydrochaeris and hydrochaeris have to be used, while Hydrochoeridae, Hydrochoeris and hydrochoeris must be considered erroneous spellings.
Part of this confusion is caused by the fact that some authors accepted the generic name Hydrochoerus Brisson (1762: 80) as a valid name.
