Fascinating Facts About Capybaras and Wetlands
Capybaras are semi-aquatic mammals native to South America that spend a large portion of their day submerged in fresh water to regulate their body temperature. Their webbed feet enable them to swim gracefully through marshes, rivers, and lagoons. Water lily leaves and dense reed beds provide both food and natural shelter for these gentle herbivores.
