三、John 还上网了解了关于水豚的知识。请阅读短文,根据短文内容回答下列问题。
Lately,the capybara(水豚),a cute animal,has become popular online. People love it for its friendly nature and relaxed lifestyle. Many people use its picture as their profile photo(头像) to show their love for it.
Capybaras live in South America. They look like a very large mouse. A mouse-like animal may not be welcomed by many,but capybaras always have lots of different animals around them.
What makes capybaras so friendly? As the largest rodent animals(啮齿动物) in the world,capybaras have only a few natural enemies(天敌),such as leopards(豹) and eagles. Living by water,they can easily hide in the water to stay away from danger. They live such a comfortable life that nothing seems to make them worry.
Capybaras eat plants for a living. They won't hurt other animals. Capybaras usually eat water plants in the morning and evening,spending the rest of the day bathing in water and resting on the beach. Sometimes,capybaras become "animal buses" while moving. They take small animals like birds,turtles(龟),ducks,and even monkeys for a free ride.
Capybaras are also getting popular as friends of humans. After all,no one can say no to such a cute and kind friend.
