The capybara (水豚) is popular among zoo visitors and animal experts. Here are some fun facts about these lovely animals.
They are big.
As one of the world’s largest plant - eating animals, grown - up capybaras weigh around 50 kg, which are as heavy as some humans! They are usually about 1.2 m in length and are up to 60 cm tall. Although they are fat and big, they are fast runners that can run at a speed of up to 35 km an hour.
They love water.
Capybaras spend a lot of time in the water. They can move quickly through the water and stay underwater for up to five minutes at a time to avoid enemies. Capybaras have even been known to sleep in the water to prevent getting burned from the sun.

Capybaras usually live in groups of between 10 and 20. What’s more, capybaras enjoy making friends with other animals. It’s common to see monkeys, rabbits, birds and even other capybaras resting on a capybara’s back while it is eating.
They have an unusual diet.
Capybaras mainly eat tough grasses and they eat their own waste as well. They do this because the grasses they eat are difficult to digest (消化). The waste can help capybaras break down hard - to - digest food.
They were considered fish in ancient times.
In the 16th century, capybaras were classified (分类) as fish by some people on purpose. That was because Catholics (天主教教徒) were not allowed to eat red meat like beef and mutton (羊肉) during Lent (大斋期), so they ate capybaras instead.
It’s clear that whether it’s on social media or at your local zoo, these lovely friends are sure to put a smile on your face.
