Capybaras are the largest rodents. They got their name from native people in South America. The word capybara means "master of the grass". They live in South America in these locations: Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and Guiana.Capybaras look like a very large hairy water pig. Capybaras have short legs, a thick body, small eyes, and blunt snout. The tailbone sticks out but you can't actually see the tail. Capybaras weigh 60-140 pounds, are 2 feet at the shoulder, 48-52 inches long, and live from 8-10 years in the wild. Baby capybaras weigh about two pounds, have fur, and can see at birth. At around 15 months of age a capybara is full grown and starts to mate. Baby capybaras drink milk from their mom. Each female can have about 6 babies a year. They mate almost any time of the year, but some capybaras mate before the rainy season. Capybaras live in groups of about twenty. In the dry season they form large groups of up to 40 capybaras in one herd around one pond.
