Capybara
The world’s largest rodent can be found across many South America, grazing on grasses and aquatic plants in savannas and rainforests. Capybaras are extremely social animals that can congregate in groups of up to 100 individuals. These gentle creatures have a reputation for living in captivity for over a decade and cohabiting with other animals. However, in the wild, capybaras are less successful because they don’t live as long and are a favorite prey of jaguars, cougars, and crocodiles.

Vampire Bat
Vampire bats, unlike other bats that eat fruits and insects, have evolved to eat blood. There are only three species, all of which can be found in the Americas, though none can be found north as the United States. Vampire bats use sound to detect sleeping animals, such as capybaras, and then use infrared sensors to find feeding hot spots on their prey before digging in with their oversized incisors and canines.
