As you can often see, a variety of small birds often stand on the capybara's body. The capybaras are their "mobile granary", and the birds catch fleas or ticks on the capybara's body to eat.

Although capybaras are chubby, they are good swimmers and can dive for up to five minutes. In addition, they spend most of their time in the water, including searching for food, defecating, and even sleeping.

The capybara is native to the Amazon River Basin in South America and is also found in the swamps of North America. The capybara has a gentle temperament and rarely fights with its own kind or other animals, relying on alertness and escape to survive.

The capybara quickly jumps into the water to escape when in danger, and can remain hidden in aquatic plants for long periods of time. Jaguars and crocodiles are its main enemies.

In today's drawing tutorial, we are going to learn how to draw a capybara. It's on land, looking around vigilantly, and it's kind of funny how it looks, which makes me want to slap it!

We will start by drawing the head of the capybara, then the body and legs, and finally add its expression. When coloring, for the two legs on its back we are going to use a darker color.
