Capybara: The Relaxed River Giant

The capybara, the world’s largest rodent, thrives in the wetlands of South America. Social and semi-aquatic, capybaras spend much of their time near water, where they graze on grasses and aquatic plants. In the zoo, capybaras live in enclosures with access to both land and water, reflecting their natural habitat. Visitors are delighted to watch them swimming, lounging in the sun, or socializing with their group. Capybaras are often seen in mixed-species exhibits, living harmoniously with birds and other animals, further showcasing their calm and adaptive nature.
