The capybara or greater capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) 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. 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 lives in
groups of 10–20 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.
