Meet the capybara: Why the world's largest rodent is friends with almost every animal and where to spot it

The capybara, Earth's largest rodent, is known for its remarkably calm and friendly disposition.

These semi-aquatic mammals peacefully coexist with a wide variety of other species in their natural habitat.

Their herbivorous diet and social lifestyle contribute to their gentle interactions with birds and reptiles.

Capybaras are found across much of South America, thriving in abundant freshwater environments.
