🐹 Fun facts about capybaras
While the crayons glide across the paper, this is the perfect moment for a little story. Capybaras have a remarkably high tolerance for other animals — researchers suspect their body warmth and calm behavior make them a popular resting spot for small insects and birds, much like a warm rock in the sun.
