The Capybara is the biggest rodent in the world. Its also called "chiguire" in Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. Their closest relatives are chinchillas and guinea pigs. Its name is derived from "Kapiyva" in the Guarani language means "master of the grasses". Capybaras have heavy, barrel-shaped bodies and short heads with reddish-brown fur on the upper part of their body that turns yellowish-brown underneath. Their best Friends are piranhas!! They love fruit and grass with some cream. Capys love swimming and live in South America by ponds, lakes, swamps, marshes and rivers, so they always love the pool parties!! When swimming, they can hold their breath for 5 minutes. Its feet are slightly webbed. Maybe if you find them...... they will want your clotted cream!!!
