Journal of Wildlife Diseases. 36 (1): 97–101. doi: 10.7589/0090-3558-36.1.97. PMID 10682750. S2CID 6491859. Capybaras are highly trainable animals. In Surinam, there has been known a case of a blind man, using this animal as a guide. Many escapees from captivity can also be found in similar watery habitats around the world. Sightings are fairly common in Florida, although a breeding population has not yet been confirmed. [20] In 2011, one specimen was spotted on the Central Coast of California. [21] These escaped populations occur in areas where prehistoric capybaras inhabited; late Pleistocene capybaras inhabited Florida [22] and Hydrochoerus hesperotiganites in California and Hydrochoerus gaylordi in Grenada, and feral capybaras in North America may actually fill the ecological niche of the Pleistocene species. [23] Diet and predation A capybara eating hay at Franklin Park Zoo, Boston, Massachusetts Capybaras are farmed for meat and skins in South America. [42] The meat is considered unsuitable to eat in some areas, while in other areas it is considered an important source of protein. [7] In parts of South America, especially in Venezuela, capybara meat is popular during Lent and Holy Week as the Catholic Church previously issued special dispensation to allow it to be eaten while other meats are generally forbidden. [43] Though quite agile on land, capybaras are equally at home in the water. They are excellent swimmers, and can remain completely submerged for up to five minutes, [14] an ability they use to evade predators. Capybaras can sleep in water, keeping only their noses out. As temperatures increase during the day, they wallow in water and then graze during the late afternoon and early evening. [7] They also spend time wallowing in mud. [18] They rest around midnight and then continue to graze before dawn. [7] A capybara in captivity, 2009 Conservation and human interaction

While they sometimes live solitarily, they are more commonly found in groups of around 10–20 individuals, with two to four adult males, four to seven adult females, and the remainder juveniles. [33] Capybara groups can consist of as many as 50 or 100 individuals during the dry season [29] [34] when the animals gather around available water sources. Males establish social bonds, dominance, or general group consensus. [34] They can make dog-like barks [29] when threatened or when females are herding young. [35]
