Capybaras are the largest of the rodent species. Weighing as much as a man, these oversized, pig-like animals are highly adapted to an aquatic lifestyle and even mate in the water. Capybaras are found over much of South America. Efficient grazers, they are able to crop even the short, dry grasses left at the end of the dry season.
Quick Answer. As of August 2014, there are five books in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice, the book series on which the Game of Thrones television series is based. Martin has said that he plans to write seven books in total.
The same thing is true of the books. A Game of Thrones, when it initially came out in 1996, didnât hit any best-seller list. None at all. A Clash of Kings, the second book, when it came out in 1999, that hit, I think it was the Wall Street Journal list at #13 for a week and then was gone.
