OtterKnow Kids EncyclopediaThe capybara is the biggest rodent in the world! It looks like a giant guinea pig. Capybaras are friendly, social animals that love being around others.
Capybaras can be as big as a large dog. They have brown fur and a round, friendly face that always looks like it is smiling. They have webbed toes that help them paddle through water.
- Other animals like birds often sit on top of capybaras for a ride!
- Capybaras are so friendly that almost every other animal seems to like them.
- Their teeth never stop growing, so they have to chew on tough grasses to keep them from getting too long.
