Product Description

Capybaras spend most of their life in water: they mate in the water, use water to hide from and elude predators (chiefly anacondas, jaguars and humans), and can stay submerged for several minutes. They can even sleep underwater by leaving their noses exposed to the air. They are excellent swimmers, and have partially webbed feet. Their front legs have four fingers and hind legs have three. Capybaras males have a gland on their noses which exudes a liquid pheromone. In the mating season, they rub this gland on surrounding foliage to attract females. They spend most of their time on river banks, feeding in the mornings and evenings.
