I am glad I read this because capybaras are nothing like who ever described it above!!!
They live in Central South America. The capybara is actually a combination of a small rodent and a hog. Capybara means water hog so this statement is correct!
*The capybara may be loosely described as pig like in appearance, but is 100% rodent. The Latin name can be interpreted as both "water pig" or very accurately as "water joy." Adults are around 100 pounds and have thin, typically tan colored hair. They have large front teeth with blunted muzzles for grazing on grass, long toenails with webbed toes (four in front and three toes in back), very short nubby tails and a portly appearance from their extra body mass which keeps them warm in their natural water habitat. I think they look some what deer like in the face and hippo like in body shape. Very intelligent animals, too.

How does the capybara adapt to its environment?
Well, they inhabit southern Central America and northern South America and live in savannas and rainforest's near lakes, rivers and ponds. So a major adaption is that they are semi-aquatic. This is a defence against the natural predators in their environment ( jaguars, anacondas, pumas, ocelots, harpy eagles that kind of thing). The Capybara retreats to the water to avoid these predators. So physical adaptions include webbed feet to help them swim and climb the banks of rivers and ponds. Their eyes and nostrils are on the top of their heads allowing them to see and breathe easily while swimming. They are capable of pressing their ears close to their heads which prevents water from getting in and they have a coat of very thin, coarse hair which dries very fast once they are out of the water.
They also have adapted digestive systems which enable them to consume enough nutrients from their diet of both grasses and aquatic plants. In their intestines they have a large chamber ( the cecum) which stores and churns and breaks down the food aided by bacteria and enzymes. They also can re-consume their own droppings and re-digest them, this allows them to gain a higher percentage of the nutrients available from the food.
