沪教版（2024）七年级下册英语Unit 4 Our animal friends阅读理解专项训练 一、选择最佳答案 A The capybara is the world's largest rodent. It can grow up to 1.3 meters long and weigh up to 65 kilograms. Capybaras are native to South America and are often found near water, such as rivers, lakes, and marshes. They are excellent swimmers and can hold their breath underwater for up to five minutes. This ability helps them escape from predators. Capybaras are social animals. They live in groups of 10 - 20 individuals. In the group, they communicate with each other through various sounds and body language. They are herbivores, mainly eating grass, aquatic plants, and tree bark. However, due to habitat loss caused by deforestation and agricultural expansion, the capybara's population is facing a threat.
