Can capybaras be kept as pets under special sucenstances?

Yes, capybaras can be kept as pets under special circumstances, but it's important to check local laws and regulations, as they are considered exotic animals in many places. They require a large space, a suitable environment, and social interaction, ideally with another capybara, since they are highly social animals. Additionally, potential owners should be prepared for their specific dietary needs and habitat requirements, including access to water for swimming. Always consult with a veterinarian experienced in exotic animals before considering a capybara as a pet.
