forest and on grasslands, around lakes, rivers, swamps, marshes and
streams. They make little beds in shallow parts of dirt. Capybaras feed
on grasses, aquatic plants, grains, melons and squashes. They live 8
years in the wild and 12 years in captivity. Their main predators are
humans, jaguars, anacondas, ocelots, pumas, eagles and caimans.
