Capybara
The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), also known as capibara, is the largest living rodent in the world. Its closest relatives are agouti, chinchillas, coyphillas, and guinea pigs. Its common name, derived from Kapiÿva in the Guarani language, means 'master of the grasses'.
Capybara are semi-aquatic mammals found wild in much of South America in densely forested areas near bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, swamps, ponds and marshes, as well as flooded savannah and along rivers in tropical forest.
FUN FACT: Capybaras are proficient swimmers, swimming with only their nostrils, eyes, and ears above the surface. They are also known to swim underwater - sometimes for considerable distances.

THE BEST BY FAR
I enjoyed swinging on the poles like a monkey and I loved looking in this telescope and seeing all animals through it and I enjoyed playing inside a dome. I did this guessing game with my bestest friend scott and I lost all three games. Chessington bring up all these animals and we should respect them and all of the wildlife and sealife that they have done for us to enjoy and look at. I LOVE CHESSINGTON WORLD OF ADVENTURES.
