Capybara

Visit the world's largest living rodent, the Capybara, at Chessington World of Adventures and Zoo.

Hailing from South America, the Capybara can grow between 105 and 135 cm in length, and they can weigh up to 65 kg. Capybaras are semi aquatic, and they spend most of their lives in water.

They often mate in it, and they can sometimes even sleep in it as long as they are able to breathe.

Chessington's two adult Capybaras, Temo and Pilli, have recently had two babies, and you can see the whole family in Chessington Zoo.
