Did you know Capybaras are not only social animals but are also highly vocal? They make a range of sounds such as purrs, clicks, whistles, barks and tooth-chattering! These vocalizations are used for communication purposes. Here is a very vocal and inquisitive and capy at the zoo.. #Capybara #EmperorValleyZoo | Emperor Valley Zoo

Capybara vocalizations are one of my favorite things to share with you guys! First, most people had no clue capybaras even made noise! And I just love bringing that information to new viewers 💕 And second, it helps highlight how similar they are to their close cousin, the guinea pig! Capybaras and guinea pigs are both in the Caviidae family! They have really similar physiology to guinea pigs, and many of their vocalizations sound similar as well! #capybara #capybaras #capybarasofinstagram #capy
