I’ve have learnt that Capybaras are also sometimes called “Water Pig” in German. We are onto something big here.

A porcupine is a “Spike Pig”. The hedgehog has a name on its own called “Igel”.

Funny though if you look at the name hedgehog. Basically a wild pig in a bush.

Capybaras actually do hang out in the water at least

i mean guinea pigs were originally bred as a replacement food source for ocean voyages as it tasted the same as a pig but was way smaller

thus the name (morski prašiček - sea piglet in slovene)

I thought the name is because they come from overseas?
