Capybara A property owner called to report that they had a capybara or what they believed to be a capybara stealing alfalfa hay from their horses. The property owner came out, discharged a shotgun round at the capybara didn’t know whether or not they hit it.David Jackson from Zoo To You offered to take the capybara if we were successful in capturing it. If it’s not caught soon, the capybara might not last much longer.

They are also usually described as a mix between a guinea pig and a rat. They are semi-aquatic and nocturnal. They prefer to live where dense vegetation can be found and water is accessible. Moreover, they cannot be owned as pets in the state. Andrew Hughan, the spokesman of California Department of Fish and Game, revealed that capybaras are not dangerous.

On July 22, 2011, Nick Kamp, a wastewater operator, reported spotting a capybara at the Paso Robles Wastewater Treatment Plant in California. As it turns out, sightings of the rodent have focussed on two nearby locales to the wastewater treatment plant.Officials in the Paso Robles area now say they may set traps after Kamp and other workers at a wastewater plant spotted a capybara three weeks ago.
