The Capybara Café
Are Capybaras Really Rodents?
Yes. Capybaras are rodents, and they are the largest living rodents in the world.
A surprising family connection
Capybaras are more closely related to guinea pigs than to pigs, despite the common name sometimes being translated as water pig.
Rodent teeth
Their prominent incisors grow continuously, a defining feature shared with many other rodents.
Big animal, familiar order
Their size can make the classification surprising, but capybaras belong firmly within Rodentia.
