Welcome to the Capybara Learning Corner, the perfect spot for parents and kids to learn about capybaras together through fun facts, quizzes, and activities! Let’s dive into the world of Mocha and Latte, our friendly capybaras, and discover what makes these animals so special.
Habitat – Where Do Capybaras Live?
Capybaras live in wetlands, rivers, and forests in South America. They’re amazing swimmers with webbed feet that help them move easily through water. Their eyes, ears, and nose sit high on their heads, so they can swim while still keeping an eye out for danger.
Fun Activity: Ask your child to imagine they’re a capybara swimming in a pond. What sounds would they hear? What plants might they see? You can even draw your own capybara habitat!

Diet – What Do Capybaras Eat?
Capybaras are herbivores, meaning they only eat plants. Their favorite snacks include grass, fruits, and vegetables! Since their teeth never stop growing, they need to chew on tough plants to keep their teeth at the perfect size.
Fun Fact: Capybaras chew their food in a circular motion. Next time you’re eating crunchy veggies, try chewing like a capybara!
