Habitat and Diet

Capybaras roam the swampy, grassy, regions bordering rivers, ponds, streams, and lakes of Central and South Africa. Because capybaras are rodents, they have those well known ever growing front teeth, just like other well known rodents like mice and squirrels. They use their sharp teeth for grazing on grass and water plants. During the dry seasons, when grasses and water plants dry up, capybaras eat grains, reeds, melons, and squashes.
