For those of you who’ve never heard of these guys (and for shame!), capybaras are the world’s largest rodent. They are native to South America, semi-aquatic, can weigh more than 100 pounds, and are very, very cute.
One of the unique attributes that we appreciate about capybara is their love for water. Capybara are one of the most aquatic rodent species in the world and enjoy a cool pool on a hot summer day! July 10th is Capybara Appreciation Day is honors the largest rodent in the world, twice as big as a beaver! The capybara is known for its love for water and pig-shaped body adapted to live in water found in forests, flooded savannas, and wetlands. The holiday was initiated by users of social networks and fans of these animals.
