Capybaras are one of the wide-reaching Rodents. They weigh about to 150 to 200 pounds. They weigh as heavy as an adult human. Around three feet tall and have giant buck teeth. The reason way they eat these foods is because they have to store alot of fat in there bodies for a period of time and to be able to do that they need these type of foods in their body. They eat Bark and Sugar cane because they have four - chamber stomachs. Thats how they acknowledge the Bark and Sugar cane. They eat about 4% to 3% of there body weight.That means that they also eat there own waste. Sometimes the frist time the capybara eats something hard to digest he eats it twice so it can digest twice in his stomach. Everything that the Capybara should not eat is anything in High Fat. It's because they are addicted to sugar and sweet foods.
Capybaras are mostley found in the northern and central south America. They spend most of thier time in water so that means that they are Semi-Aquatic animals. Capybaras don't have a lot of predators in their natrual habiats. Due to this is because they usually jump in water and swim away from there predators. The type of body of waters that they go in is swaps, rivers, lakes , ponds, and marshes. Capybaras tend to sleep in the morning.
