Capybaras have an incredibly sweet and distinct look, and the same thing can be said about their personality. It turns out that the largest rodent in the world is very sociable and loves hanging out with other animals to form very unlikely friends. Snuggling and cuddling are their favorite activities and they’re truly kind to anyone that crosses their path.
The animals are native to South America but slowly becoming more popular overseas as well. Their size is definitely something to keep in mind, as they can grow to be up to 4 and a half feet long and can weigh as much as 145 pounds.
The large rodents really enjoy spending their time in and below the water, but mostly spend their days hanging around on the ground near a water source. In short, they’re best described as semi-aquatic animals. Even though they’re fond of water, it’s allowed in some states to keep capybaras as pets.
They’re extremely sociable and mostly live in larger groups of dozens of capybaras, which is quite unusual in the animal kingdom. Over the years, people taking care of capybaras noticed that the friendly animals love hanging around with other animal species, even those that differ completely from rodents.
