This week on Candid Animal Cam we're meeting the capybara, the world's largest rodent. These large mammals are related to guinea pigs, and have a symbiotic relationship with many other animal species.
Special thanks to the San Miguelito Jaguar Conservation Ranch for sharing this footage with us. Every episode, Mongabay will bring you a new animal caught on Candid Animal Cam, so subscribe and hit the bell icon to make sure you never miss a camera trap video again!
And shout out to our writer and biologist Romi Castagnino, who hosted, produced and shot this video!
