Fun facts about capybaras

Capybaras are the largest rodents in the world, growing up to about 4 feet long. They live in groups near rivers and wetlands in South America and are excellent swimmers, with slightly webbed feet.

They are famous for being calm, which is why birds, monkeys and even ducks often sit on them. In some Japanese zoos, capybaras relax in warm baths during winter.

Coloring tips for capybara pictures

A real capybara is a warm reddish brown or golden brown, a little darker on the back. Use a soft tan for the face, dark brown for the small ears and eyes, and bright orange for the famous fruit on its head. Blue and teal water and green reeds finish the scene.
