Because the Capybaras are very shy and tame creatures people also keep them as pets. We watched a video of a person with a pet Capybara and listened to the soft squeaky noise they make.
We finished off class by coloring a picture of a Capybara.

03/19 Capybara
The Capybara is the largest rodent in the world and can reach 175 pounds! In a native language Capybara means "master of the grasses", probably because they eat over 6 pounds of grass in a day. They are found near swamps, water holes, rivers, and love to lay in the mud. The Capybara is an excellent swimmer and has webbing between the toes and fingers to help them paddle. The kids really liked the fact that the Capybara can sleep underwater with just their nose poking out in order to hide from predators.
