Capybaras have become pretty well-known because of the Internet, and now lots of people know how friendly and chill they are.

There are multiple pictures of them resting around different animals, including pretty dangerous ones, but they are never attacked.

Let's find out, why.

Social Nature

Within their herds, capybaras engage in mutual grooming, vocal communication, and playful interactions. 

Their social nature extends to interactions with other species, including humans.

Non-Aggressive Behavior

Capybaras rarely show signs of aggression unless provoked or threatened. 

Their calm and docile nature contributes to their reputation for friendliness.

Adaptability to Different Species

Capybaras are known for their ability to form friendships and establish positive relationships with various animals, including other species. 

This adaptability and tolerance make them more receptive to socializing and bonding with different creatures.

Herbivorous Diet

Their non-predatory diet reduces the likelihood of aggressive behavior, as they have no natural inclination to hunt or compete for food. 

Lack of Natural Predators

In their natural habitat, capybaras have relatively few natural predators due to their large size, group dynamics, and aquatic habitats. 

Human Interaction and Domestication

In some areas, capybaras have become accustomed to human presence and have been domesticated or raised in captive settings.
