I was channel hopping this morning and got on to Roar, and saw these two animals. I used to know what they are called but I have forgotten, and it's bugging me. Unfortunately the name wasn't mentioned after I got there.

These animals are (to me) like giant guinea pigs. They are pig like (size), but look like rodents. Facially they are very rodent, but as said, more guinea pig than say rat. Though not water based, they love water. The programme showed them relaxing in a pond, I think they are vegetarian (from what I heard) but I can't swear. The name Coypu sprang to mind at the time, but having checked, they weren't those.
