Bara News 🌍

Ever wondered whether capybaras are a threatened or endangered species?

Even though the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) does not formally classify them as "endangered" worldwide, territorial numbers inside their natural area in South America have decreased as of 2023.

Urbanization and deforestation are threatening the wetlands, grasslands, and forest regions that are essential to capybara reproduction and survival because they cause habitat loss and fragmentation. 🍂

Poaching and other illegal activities that persist despite legal protection are other factors contributing to the pressure on capybara populations.

Natural predators such as crocodiles, anacondas, and big cats, along with competition for resources, make life more challenging for capybaras.

Governments, conservation organizations, scientists, local communities, and others must work together to guarantee the safety and maintenance of capybara populations in the wild.

Bara Knowledge 🧠

Water hogs. What?

Known as "water hogs," capybaras only live in areas with an abundance of water supplies because they need a lot of water to keep their skin wet. 🏞️

Throughout Central and South America, they are most at home in marshes, estuaries, riverbanks, and streams.

These lovable rodents deliberately sleep amid thick foliage near water sources to evade predators and remain cool.

Bara Adventure 🚀

We have reached the end of our tour of Japan with today’s journey.

Nasu Animal Kingdom is located in Tochigi Prefecture and covers a massive 43 hectares, divided into two parts: Kingdom Farm, an outdoor area, and Kingdom Town, an indoor complex.

What makes Nasu Animal Kingdom different is Umi, a capybara that holds the surprising title of the unbeaten champ of onsen bathing championships with an all-time record of 4 hours, 56 minutes, and 36 seconds. 🥇

Many other capybaras have tried but none has been able to surpass this incredible score.
