Pictures of Capybaras
Everything : Animals : Capybaras
Pictures of capybaras.  Capybaras are the largest rodent in the world.  Adults can weigh up to 140lbs!  They occupy areas near standing water and riverbanks in Central and South America.  

The Capys depend on water for a place to hide as well as a source of food in the form of water plants and grasses.  They also use shallow water and mud to help endure hot tropical weather.  Capys communicate through barks and other sounds as well as by scent marking.  These communication techniques help protect one another when the group is attacked by common predators such as jaguars, humans, and anacondas.
