There are giant rodents roaming around the Olympic golf course

Published Aug. 10, 2016 1:22 p.m. ET

The much-maligned Olympic men's golf tournament finally gets underway Thursday, and players will be sharing the course with a bunch of wild animals - most notably the world's largest rodent. 

Capybaras, which are native to South America, are semi-aquatic creatures that can grow to about 4.5 feet long and weigh over 100 pounds. United States Olympian Rickie Fowler noted that he wouldn't want to end up in a showdown with one of them.
