CAPYBOPPY
Capy was a capybara. Capybaras are the largest rodents in the world. They are natives of the American tropics and live in family groups along the banks of rivers in which they take refuge from some predators. They are excellent swimmers. My mother started calling him Capyboppy and the name stuck. Bill Peet, Jr.
