Capybaras are social, and they can be found in groups as large as thirty. Adult male capybaras mate with and are in charge of several females and their babies.
Humans raise capybaras for food and they are seen as a delicacy. This is especially important in South America, as the Catholic tradition of Lent forbids the eating of meat. Clergy decided to classify capybara meat as fish, which made them okay for Catholics to eat.
