The Capybara Links Page By: Kindra
This site is dedicated to Capybaras. A capybara is the world's largest rodent. It is five feet long, 2 feet tall, and weighs between 100-200 pounds full grown. Unlike most rodents, the capybara loves to swim. This animal is found in South America and is frequently hunted because it has 25 pounds of meat on it. Capybaras are said to have a sweet disposition. Here are some Capybara links if you wish to know more about this animal. |

CAPYBARA http://www.k12/de/us/warner/capybara.htm
1. This site tells the basic facts of the capybara. It also includes additional facts about reproduction, lifespan, and how a capybara hides from its enemies. This site has some new information about capybaras that some other capybara sites did not include. This site is a good site for capybara lovers. Animal Ominbus-Capybara http://www.birminghamzoo.com/ao/mammal/capybara.htm 2. The Birmingham zoo site tells the basic facts about capybaras includes information about capybaras such as the their reproduction, behavior, diet, and habitat. It also includes some cute capybara pictures. This site is a very good site to learn some of the facts other sites did not include. It is a zoo web site after all, so it makes sense that they would know things the average person might not know about a capybara like what a capybara's sleeping habits are. The capybara page http://www.rebsig.com/capybara 3. The capybara page has a short summary about a capybara and includes several pictures of capybaras in zoos. Two books on capybaras are listed on this site that the creator recommends. The site lists all the zoos in the United States that the creator knows of that has capybaras with links to some of these sites. The creator also includes other capybara sites and animal related links. This is a fairly impressive site, especially if you want to see a lot of capybara pictures. I like that the creator also included capybara books on this site. It’s nice to see that not all web makers do research only on the web. The happy capy http://www.capybara.com 4. The happy capy site is a cute web site that shows a picture of a capybara with a cartoon text box saying things like click on this icon to find out about capybara.com and its creator. There are also two non capybara links included on this site: a San Francisco theatrical company who wants to bring back lost musicals and one about the Metropolitan Community Church. This site is very deceptive. It has little or no information about capybaras. It appears that the creator wanted to talk about a variety of subjects that interested him, including himself, and hides behind a cute animal to draw people into his site. If you love capybaras, I do not recommend this site. Capybaras-from the rodent home pagehttp://tqjunior.advanced.org/3882/capybaras.html 5. A cute web site that shows a child drawing of a capybara. This site is very extensive telling you just about everything you could ever know about a capybara. It includes a map of South America highlighting where capybaras can be found. This site also has links to just about every rodent imaginable. The site has a few good pictures from another capybara site with a link to it. It also includes bios of the creators. This by far is the most impressive capybara site I’ve seen. The creators obviously went the extra mile finding out research for their site. If you want to find out a lot about capybaras, this is the site to go. |

This site also includes the scientific classification of the capybara. This page has links to other animals such as cavy, chamois, chevrotian, chinchilla, culugo, and coyote. Also you can e-mail the creator of this page. This page mentions some facts I had not heard before. It mentioned that capybara fossils indicate that capybaras used to be twice as heavy and eight times as large as they are now, making them larger than North American brown bears. This site also mentioned that capybaras can be easily tamed and that their hides can be used as leather. This site also has one of the best pictures I have seen of a capybara. This site does not have a lot of information about the capybara because it is a link from a very extensive animal page. Capybara http://www.clayton.slc.k12.ut.us/students/emicla.htm 7. This capybara site tells the animal's scientific name, physical appearace, how many babies are in a litter, when they feed, and their lifespan. This site also links to two other capybara sites. This site tells new facts about the capybara such as it has webbed toes and that it keeps its head above water when swimming to detect danger. It has some good pictures on it too. This site is not an extensive capybara site but it tells some information other sites did not mention. When I tried the other capybara links on this page, they were either down or I was not allowed access to them. Denver Zoo-Tropical Discovery-Howler Monkeyhttp://www.denverzoo.org/monkepic.htm 8. This capybara page tells facts about the capybara such as its geographic location, where it perfers to live, its physical characteristics, behavior, diet, and life cycle. Since this page is from a zoo web page, it has pages for a zoo tour, information about the zoo, conservation, history and statisitics of the zoo, and a search engine to find any animal you would like to know more about. This site also includes one picture of a capybara. On this site, I learned about a capybara's sleeping habits, its diet (it also likes melons and squash, in addition to grass), and that capybaras are very intelligent. This site is a very good site and has a lot of information about capybaras. Rzu2u Capybara page http://www.rzu2u.com/capybara.htm 9. A cute site on how to raise capybaras as pets.

This site has some of the cutest capybara pictures I have ever seen including one of a baby capybara wearing a tazmanian devil bib drinking milk and one of a capybara standing up on its hind legs for food. This site is kind of annoying because the words jump around as you scroll down the page. Don’t let the jumpy words annoy you too much though. This page is a must for capybara lovers. Chester zoo's Bush dogs, camels, and capybara http://www.buss.co.uk/chesterzoo/bushdogs.html 10. This site tells the basic facts about the capybara. It includes a cute picture of a gray capybara. This page also includes facts on camels and bush dogs. It is not an extensive capybara site. It just has the basic facts you could probably find in your Encyclopedia Britannica. If you want to see a cute gray capybara, this is a good site to go.
