The capybara, Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris, is the biggest rodent in the world. This semi-aquatic rodent lives in swamps, in marshes, and also in forests (near ponds, lakes and rivers). It is found in Central and South America.
Capybaras gather near the water in groups of about 20 animals; they spend a lot of time wallowing in mud. These social animals communicate using whistles and barks; they also produce glandular scents. These mammals have a life span of 8 to 10 years in the wild.
