Science Discovery Howie Stuckey April 1, 2015 At the shoulder, a Capybara is about 50 cm tall. The Capybara is the worlds largest rodent. They are semi-aquatic, spending a lot of time in the water. They have webbed feet which makes it easier when their in the water. They live in groups of about 10-20. The group includes a dominent male, many females, other males, and some baby offspring Capybara. Baby Capybara are not good swimmers, so they stay on land instead of going in the water and potentially drowning. http://www.animalfactguide.com/animal-facts/capybara/

Science Discovery Howie Stuckey April 1, 2015 Dung beetles are copaphrogous insects, meaning they eat the escrements of other animals, meaning they eat poop. They mainly feed on herbivore droppings. When dung beetles do carry or roll the dung away, they do so primarily to feed their young. A female usually deposits each egg in its own place in a piece of dropping. Dung beetles are believed to live around 30 million ears ago! http://insects.about.com/od/beetles/a/10-Fascinating-Facts-About-Dung-Beetles.htm
