🐹 Fun facts about capybaras
While the crayons glide across the paper, this is the perfect moment for a little story. In the wild, capybaras often live right along sandy riverbanks and lakeshores — sandy shores give them comfortable spots to rest and a quick escape route into the water if danger appears.
