The '''Capybara''' and its [[Giant capybara|derivatives]] are currently the only animals in the game which you can hear at a distance in Adventure mode. These sounds will be described as whistling or barking. The possible announcements are as follows:
* "You hear whistling."
* "You hear deep whistling."
* "You hear barking."

If tamed in Fortress Mode, capybaras require a [[pasture]]. They are amphibious, being able to swim even from birth. They make moderate-value [[pet]]s, and produce respectable [[butcher]]ing returns, though other non-grazing species require less space and management.

Some dwarves [[preference|admire]] capybaras for their ''enormous rodentness'', their ''graceful swimming'', or their ''resonant barking''.

In real life, the capybara can be found in South America and is the largest extant rodent in the world; they are close relatives of [[cavy|guinea pigs]].

According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capybara Wikipedia], a normal capybara litter is 4 pups. In Dwarf Fortress, however, they only give birth to 1-3 at a time.
