Capybara Calling Sound
The capybara, also known as the greater capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), is a large rodent native to South America. It holds the title of being the largest living rodent and belongs to the Hydrochoerus genus, with its sole counterpart being the lesser capybara (Hydrochoerus isthmius). Sharing its lineage with guinea pigs and rock cavies, it also has more distant relations like the agouti, chinchilla, and nutria. Typically found in South American savannas and dense forests, the capybara prefers areas close to water bodies. This species is notably sociable, often forming groups of up to 100 individuals, though they more commonly dwell in smaller groups ranging from 10 to 20. Capybaras face hunting pressures for their meat, hide, and the grease extracted from their thick, fatty skin.
These semi-aquatic mammals are widespread across South America, inhabiting all countries except Chile. They favor densely wooded regions near various water sources such as lakes, rivers, swamps, ponds, and marshes. Capybaras are adept swimmers, capable of remaining submerged for as long as five minutes. They have adapted well to cattle ranches and are often found in high-density populations, utilizing home ranges averaging around 10 hectares (25 acres).
