Friendly Capybara: Cute Compilation

This is a compilation of a cute and furry animal called the capybara. The capybara is the largest rodent in the world. Close relatives are guinea pigs and rock cavies, the capybara is also native to South America. It is a highly social species and can be found in groups as large as 100 individuals, but usually lives in groups of 10–20 individuals.

Capybaras are the world’s largest rodent. They don’t look like the typical pests living in alleyways, though. Capybaras are as big as large dogs, have webbed feet and don’t have a tail. They don’t have the typical wedge-shaped face of most rodents, either.

These water-loving rodents need water to keep their dry skin moist and are found only in areas with abundant water sources. Some of their moist habitats include estuaries, marshes, river banks and along streams in Central and South America.
