  Capybara

  Capybaras are the largest rodents, which is why they’re often called “the world’s biggest rats.” They have a very laid-back and gentle temperament, so they get along well with other animals. They love being in the water, which is why they’re also nicknamed “water pigs.” They have webbed feet, so they’re excellent swimmers. Have you ever seen a capybara defecating in the water? Since doing their business in the water helps eliminate odors, they developed the habit of using the water as a bathroom while fleeing from predators.
