A capybara seems a bit too comfortable along the Yacuma River in the Pampas region of Bolivia. In reality, there’s not a lot of time to relax for capybaras as they are the favorite prey of larger animals in the area like jaguars and caiman. Capybaras are quite robust themselves, and noteworthy for being the largest rodents in the world. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/2.8 at 1/800th of a second.
They are very shy and docile animals, but they do have big teeth. They apparently make good pets because they like being pet and cuddled like a dog, but like a dog I suppose they could bite.

Have scientists determined whether Capybaras can vibe?
Extensive research on the matter has confirmed that they can in fact, vibe.
Would they bite a human being?

Strange looking animal. I wouldn’t want to tangle with those claws!
Sort of like fingered hooves.
Omg – I have never heard of the magnificent animal -Sean, I’m a teacher, I love learning! Thx!
This is a very disgnified pose!
This one does look pretty relaxed ,and not too bothered by your camera’s intrusion. I doubt I could invite him into my house as a pet.
