5 Reasons Why Capybaras Are so Popular
If you’re online, you’ve probably seen them. They look (0) a mix of a guinea pig, beaver*, and
coconut, but much (26) _. They ride on their parents’ backs and are like free taxis and pillows
for other animals. They’re capybaras, the largest rodents in the world. Even though they are rodents, we
love them. Why?
1. They’re Very Relaxed
Capybaras are known (27) being calm. You might have seen videos of a pelican trying to bite a
capybara, who doesn’t care, or ones where they bathe in Japanese hot springs (28) oranges.
Their round, (29) eyes add to their relaxed look.
2. They’re Friendly and Clever Outside the wild, capybaras can recognise people and often like being with them. Typaldos, who (30)
a capybara, says her pet knows tricks like turning in a circle and shaking (31).
Capybaras have different personalities and may like different company. We might enjoy seeing one smell
a cat or sleep next to a bunny, but not all capybaras get along with everyone. For example, some capybaras
(32) like dogs.
3. They Look Funny but Familiar
Brookfield Zoo’s capybara, Carsie, likes lying in the sun and looks like an ancient Egyptian sphinx as he
enjoys the warmth. (33)
4. They Are Good Swimmers
5. Capybaras Are Just Cute
