This rodent from South America is the largest in the world. A capybara can get close to 80 kg (175 pounds) but as intimidating as it might look, they are mostly shy and tame creatures. Capybaras are also known as water hogs. As the name suggests, they are usually found near swamps and water holes. The water provides a refuge from the midday heat. Capybaras are excellent swimmers. Their eyes and ears are positioned high on the head, so they can see and hear easily while swimming.
