The basics about Capybaras
The capybara is a giant cavy rodent native to South America. It is the largest living rodent and a member of the genus Hydrochoerus. The only other extant member is the lesser capybara (Hydrochoerus isthmius). Its close relatives include guinea pigs and rock cavies, and it is more distantly related to the agouti, the chinchilla, and the nutria. The capybara inhabits savannas and dense forests, and lives near bodies of water. It is a highly social species and can be found in groups as large as 100 individuals, but usually live in groups of 10 to 20 individuals. The capybara is hunted for its meat and hide and also for grease from its thick fatty skin.It is not considered a threatened species.
Despite their size, they're actually very docile. In fact, they're known for being one of the most friendly and social animals in the rodent family. One of the best things about capybaras is their love for water. They're excellent swimmers and can often be found lounging in ponds and rivers.
