Скачать или смотреть Capybara Survival Secrets! How These Rodents Stay Safe 🐾🐅 Mostly

Did you know? The beaver may be a big rodent, but the #capybara is even bigger—the largest rodent on Earth! These semi-aquatic mammals, native to South America are close relatives to guinea pigs and chinchillas.
#Capybaras are built for water! With webbed toes and a body suited for paddling through wetlands, they’re excellent swimmers. Their high-placed eyes and ears keep them alert even when submerged—a handy feature when predators like jaguars and caimans are around!
Fun fact: These gentle giants are a favorite snack for many predators, from jaguars to boa constrictors. Even birds of prey like the caracara find capybara young irresistible! 🥲
What’s on the menu? Capybaras graze on grasses and aquatic plants. Their unusual trick? They eat their own waste to get extra nutrients, giving their food a second chance at digestion!
With a social side, capybaras live alone or in groups of up to 40, raising litters of 4-5 young per year. While they thrive in many regions, hunting has impacted some populations.
Nature’s fascinating creatures never cease to amaze!
