Run, Capybara, Run! These semi-aquatic rodents have webbed feet to propel them through water, and—as German explorer Hans Staden described in 1557—“when anything alarms them, they flee into the water toward the bottom.” Capybaras can hold their breath for up to five minutes, and are so well adapted to their aqueous habitat that they’ve been filmed trotting along river bottoms just like this.

Cheesecake the capybara might be a little bit stubborn… and squirrely 😂 The process of training a behavior like standing on a scale seems simple, but it really depends on the animal you’re working with! Pumpkin has successfully stood on the scale, meanwhile Cheesecake has stalled on getting her front two feet on the scale 😂 The best way to train something like this is to use her favorite foods (like corn) and let her make progress at her own pace. #capybara #capybaras #animaltraining #animalbe
