Capybara

Found throughout much of South America, capybaras inhabit regions near bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, swamps, and wetlands, and are common in biomes like the Pantanal and the Amazon.

Capybaras are social animals, living in groups of 10 to 20 individuals. They are semi-aquatic and excellent swimmers, spending much of their time in the water to cool off and avoid predators. They are herbivores and graze during dawn and dusk.

The capybara is the largest rodent in the world, with a robust body that can weigh between 35 and 65 kg. They have short, thick fur, ranging from light to dark brown, and are easily recognizable by their rounded faces and short legs.
