SO COMMON, SO RARE : Capybara

Residing in wetlands (even inside cities) and rainforests, the capybara is the largest rodent on Earth.

It weighs over 100 pounds and stands two feet tall.

Native to South America, the gregarious capybara, which lives in small, organised herds, is an excellent swimmer.

This intelligent herbivore evades its predators by jumping into water bodies where it can hold its breath for over five minutes.
