An interesting animal!

I first knew about this animal thanks to Twitter, one day I was looking through my timeline and I came across various pictures of this animal hanging out with other animals of other species. This animal it’s called capybara or Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris if you prefer, they live almost in all of South America so they are closer that what I had imagine. The reason of why they were sharing the pictures of capybaras on Twitter is because they were bringing to light the fact that capybaras are very social animals, so since that moment I have been fascinated about them and the calmness that they portray when hanging out with other species.

Nonetheless Capybaras are not only amazing because of that, these mammals are the largest living rodent in the world! It can grow up to 1,30 meters and weight up to 65 kg (I’m not picking them up for sure!) As you know these animals have good social skills so they live in groups and have an herbivore diet, because of that they spend their time grazing on plants or fruits so it structures of teeth is pretty much like any other rodent but bigger... something interesting about the teeth of some rodent is that they are able to grow them back because of the damage it produce constantly eating grass. Capybaras are also very good swimmers so part of their time goes in that activity. In adittion to that, even so they are mostly relaxed if some kind of danger is near them, they can run as fast as a horse!


So now that I know all of this stuff about capybaras I could truly say that Capybaras is on my list of favorites animal and if I have the opportunity of meeting them one day I would love to do it, I even would like to introduce them to my dog so they could become friends ^^
