Thompson, Andy (January 18, 2008) Trip to South America gives new meaning to outdoors life. Richmond Times. The word 'capybara' means “one who eats slender leaves” in the Tupi language, which is spoken in Brazil. Many escapees from captivity can also be found in similar watery habitats around the world. Sightings are fairly common in Florida, although a breeding population has not yet been confirmed. [20] In 2011, one specimen was spotted on the Central Coast of California. [21] These escaped populations occur in areas where prehistoric capybaras inhabited; late Pleistocene capybaras inhabited Florida [22] and Hydrochoerus hesperotiganites in California and Hydrochoerus gaylordi in Grenada, and feral capybaras in North America may actually fill the ecological niche of the Pleistocene species.

Capybaras are known to be gregarious. While they sometimes live solitarily, they are more commonly found in groups of around 10–20 individuals, with two to four adult males, four to seven adult females, and the remainder juveniles. [33] Capybara groups can consist of as many as 50 or 100 individuals during the dry season [29] [34] when the animals gather around available water sources. Males establish social bonds, dominance, or general group consensus. [34] They can make dog-like barks [29] when threatened or when females are herding young. [35] Capybaras don’t mind being alone, but they also live in groups of up to 40. Their breeding season varies throughout the year depending on what habitat they live in and the availability of mates. Females usually have one litter of four to five young per year. Like its relative the guinea pig, the capybara does not have the capacity to synthesize vitamin C, and capybaras not supplemented with vitamin C in captivity have been reported to develop gum disease as a sign of scurvy.
