Giant modern herbivores I would willingly pet in the wild. Buffalo: no. Elephant: no. Reindeer: no. Rhino: no. Water buffalo: no. Giraffe: no. Hippo: no.
100 pounds? Capybaras aren’t anywhere near the size of my other examples. But I’d stay out of the water with a manatee. I don’t think a manatee would care about my existence, but I’d be fine with petting one while I’m on a boat and it’s in the water.

Based on modern examples, I’d stay the fuck away.
There’s a band of capibaras living in my city… they already killed 2 people.
Capybara are dangerous?! Do they kill by biting or what?
Yes, they bite.
The local news had to run a campaign for people not to try to pet the capibaras.
How do you feel about manatees?
Ooh…or a capybara?
Petting a manatee is a $10,000 fine. No touch.
Yeah that’s the only thing that would keep me from swimming with on. Also that I hate swimming in murky water, reeds, or sea weed.

Giant is a relative term, w/r/t capybara.
Ah, I take your meaning now. It was a little blurred with the manatee. As recompense for my misunderstanding, here’s a giant grain of sand
Capybaras are awesome!
I’d much rather turn a blind corner and find myself standing right in front of a grizzly mother with her cubs than a hippo or a moose.
