More About Capybaras ...
|
"The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochae
ris) is the largest of living rodents".
Capybaras are excellent swimmers, and have partially webbed feet. They mate in the water, use the water to hide from predators, and can stay submerged for several minutes. Capybaras can even sleep underwater, with only the nose exposed.
