Capybaras are popular pets and companions due to their low maintenance and cuddly nature.

Capybaras are a type of rodent, native to South America. They are the largest rodents in the world, weighing up to 75 pounds (34 kg) and growing up to four feet (1.2 m) long. Capybaras are also known as “water pigs” because they spend so much time in water, eating aquatic plants and swimming.

In the wild, capybaras live in groups of 10-20 individuals. They communicate using a variety of sounds that include barks, squeaks, whistles and snorts. Capybaras have also been known to communicate with humans using similar sounds when kept as pets.
