The Ljubljana Zoo also has a capibaro – the largest living representative of rodents in the world, living in wet areas of much of South America. They spend most of their lives at the water, they belong to mammals; their closest relatives are: agate, chinchillas and guinea pigs. It has a round pear-shaped body and a short head with reddish hair above and gray-yellow on the lower part of the body. The fur coats are extremely hard and can be measured in a length of 3-12 cm. The hair can be so rare in some places that the skin can be seen. Adult animals are 90-140 cm long and can reach up to 60 cm in height. Their weight may vary. Females have up to 50kg, and females have 70 and more. The body is without a tail, the fingers are thickened and are somewhat similar to the hooves, connected by the floating skin. The back legs are slightly longer than the front legs. There are four in front, and only three fingers behind. They spend a lot of time in water, we only see their head from the water. They dive and swim very well.

Read about this animal, heard that capibaro may make unusual sounds.
I read something about this animal …. it’s a very interesting animal
Again, I commented on this. I was the first one.
I saw and answered the comment
Having never met one first hand I am not sure if I like them or not. Great post.
Thanks for seeing and kind comment
Lovely animal, looks good I saw some animals like that at the Auckland Zoo but I don’t know their names
Thanks for seeing and kind comment dear Pamela
Thanks for seeing and kind comment my friend
Thank you very much dear friend
My understanding is they’re closely related to the Guinea Pig
I honestly do not know who Guinea Pig
they’re little rodents that are kept as pets or experimented on
But now I know … it was such a strange translation that I did not understand … thanks for the explanation
lab rat and guinea pig have sinister connotations in English
I can not comment on this, because I do not get enough of it
I have never seen capybara directly except on TV. I know that it is a unique animal that is able to make friends with many animals, even with wild crocodiles.
Even I first heard for kapibaro….It is a unique and special
The zoo in your place is quite interesting for maintaining unique animals.
I can praise him … they take very care of the animals and always something new happens … they have now bought a new pair of lions
They have a good spirit to preserve animals!
As you can see, the right people are in the right place
I have heard of these animals but never seen one. A great photo and information.
Thanks for seeing and kind comment dear friend
I do not know this animal
Visit the zoo in Ljubljana and you will see it
I already visited it but I miss this animal
Then you will have to visit the zoo once more dear Vidocka
I had heard and even seen capybaras on television documentaries but never in person. As they are distant relatives of rats (I believe) I am not too fond of these big rodents although apparently they do make fairly good pets and are not that aggressive unless when attacked. The one you show does not seem to be a giant capybara but a smaller version unless it is baby maybe. Lovely well taken picture…
Thanks for seeing and kind comment…I have not heard of it for pets…How old is I really do not know
