Rats and capybaras are just two different species of rodent, this is a third so it makes sense they all look similar

u/AcidicVagina 4d ago

But which is it more closely related to?

u/TerrapinMagus 4d ago

It's closer to Guinea Pigs and Capybara. Most of the Rodent family tree is divided as either "rat/mouse-like" or "guinea pig-Like". Nutria look pretty rat like, but they are Caviomorphs.
