I'm left curious what the 20 pound rodent was. Capybara? "In Venezuela, capybara meat was so popular that sometime between the 16th and 18th centuries, clergymen petitioned to continue eating it during Lent. Although biology says otherwise, the Catholic Church agreed. They declared that the capybara was a “fish” and therefore acceptable to eat during Lent." Found this after a bit of googling
