If you are an animal lover, this is a must-read!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fascinating fact<\/strong>: an adult capybara <strong>can weigh up to 66 kg<\/strong>, making it the largest rodent in the world.

During the rainy season, when food is abundant, these groups can become even larger. Their <strong>social structure is well-organised<\/strong>, with each member playing a specific role. Cooperation is key to their survival.<\/p>\n<p>One of their most remarkable traits is their diverse communication. Capybaras <strong>interact through vocalisations, scents and physical contact<\/strong>.
