While most people believe that capybaras are the chilliest rodent on the plant, and for the most part they are. That doesn't mean they won't protect themselves or their babies. When capybaras feel threated, and they are close to a body of water (which is most times) they will jump into the water while one adult male stay to defend. In a group of capybaras there is one alpha male, he gets first pick of the females. This causes some tension between alpha male and all the other males. Still to this day the capybaras greatest predator are humans.
