Capybara:Ewiger Prasident The El Paso Zoo has something new to see. Four baby capybaras the largest rodent in the world were born at the zoo in November. They are the poster of the exhibition Land of the Americas. They look like giant hamsters, almost," said Rick Lobello, education curator at the zoo. "They also look like a beaver, but they are great. They also live in herds. The zoo was capybaras for years, and the babies were born there before. But now is the perfect time to check the newborn animals, "he said. Capybaras can reach 4 feet long and weigh 100 pounds. The babies weigh about 20 pounds already and about a foot and half long, Lobello said. They live in Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay. In the wild, they live in herds of 10 to 30, but sometimes they are in large groups of up to 100, Lobello said. They play an important role in the food chain and are eaten by anacondas, jaguars, eagles and mans cai, a relative of the alligator. Lobello capybaras described as aquatic mammals that live near lakes, rivers and swamps. They can hold their breath underwater for five minutes. Babies are a "very fun age," said Lobello. "It's nice to see small animals learn about their environment.
