The world's largest living rodent, resembling a giant guinea pig with a barrel-shaped body, native to South America.
From Tupí (Brazilian indigenous language) capibara, where 'ca' means grass and 'pibara' means eater—literally 'grass-eater.' The word entered English through Portuguese exploration and colonial accounts.
Capybaras are so chill and social that they live in groups of 10-20 and seem genuinely unbothered by literally everything—there are viral videos of capybaras hanging out with cats, dogs, and even birds, making them the zen masters of the animal kingdom!
