When most people think of rodents, mice or squirrels probably come to mind. Most people are also not especially fond of rodents. However, a lot of people make exceptions for capybaras, the world’s largest and cutest rodents. Native to South America, capybaras are closely related to guinea pigs, and they like living near bodies of water. Capybaras are usually found near lakes and rivers in densely forested areas. Because they are a highly social species, they can be found in groups.
当大多数人想到囓齿动物时，可能会想到老鼠或松鼠。大多数人也不是特别喜欢囓齿动物。然而，许多人为水豚这种世界上最大、最可爱的囓齿动物破例。水豚原产于南美洲，与天竺鼠有紧密的亲缘关系，牠们也喜欢生活在水域附近。水豚通常出现在树林茂密的地区中的湖泊和河流附近。由于牠们是高度群居的物种，所以牠们经常成群结队出现。
