The Capybara is a large South American rodent. It is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park 3.
Description[]
The capybara is a semi-aquatic member of the cavy family. It is the world's largest living rodent, with females weighing up to 66kg (146lbs); males are slightly smaller. It has a heavy barrel-shaped body and a broad blunt muzzle. The capybara is heavily adapted for living in water, with webbed toes and its nostrils, ears and eyes set atop of its head, allowing it to remain submerged for five minutes. It also features a large scent gland on its nose, which is larger in males.
Native to much of South America, the capybara lives in savannah and dense forests, always close to water. A herbivorous animal, capybaras will typically only eat one species of plant over any other unless food is scarce. It is highly social, living in groups of around 10-20 individuals, although over 100 animals have been recorded in some groups. Although hunted for its meat and hide, the capybara is not considered threatened and can be quite docile around humans.
