Capybara or water guinea pig is the largest rodent among all its modern relatives. It is difficult to imagine that this sweet and charming creature can grow up to 135 cm and gain more than 60 kg of weight! Rodent prefers living only near water bodies, although in water it only mates. And the name for his species, he borrowed from the language of the Guarani Indians (in translation means "lord of grasses"), because indeed - to no living creature capybara does not touch.
The famous naturalist J. Darrell described the capybara as a phlegmatic good-natured vegetarian, devoid of striking individual traits, although he makes up for this flaw with a friendly and calm disposition.
