Adaptations
Capybaras, like any animal are adapted to their surroundings and the capybaras surroundings are lakes, water, trees and grasses. This means that they have webbed feet for swimming and so they can walk on wet land without sinking. Their ears, eyes, nose and mouth are very high up on their body meaning that they can hide from predators and their ears can even close completely to stop water from getting in. They can also stay underwater for 5 minutes!
