+ | The '''Capybara''' and its [[Giant capybara|derivatives]] are among the very few animals in the game which you can hear at a distance in Adventure mode. The only other species known to issue sounds is the [[kakapo]]. Capybara sounds will be described as whistling or barking. The possible announcements are as follows: | ||
+ | * "You hear whistling." | ||
+ | * "You hear deep whistling." | ||
+ | * "You hear barking." | ||
− | + | If tamed in Fortress Mode, capybaras require a [[pasture]]. They are amphibious, being able to swim even from birth. They make moderate-value [[pet]]s, and produce respectable [[butcher]]ing returns, though other non-grazing species require less space and management. | |
− | + | Some dwarves [[preference|admire]] capybaras for their ''enormous rodentness'', their ''graceful swimming'', or their ''resonant barking''. | |
− | + | The capybara is the largest extant rodent in the world; they are close relatives of [[cavy|guinea pigs]]. However, in DF, as they are 3/4 the size of an adult dwarf, they can easily kill if provoked. | |
+ | |||
+ | Native to in South America in real life, a normal capybara litter is 4 pups according to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capybara Wikipedia]; in Dwarf Fortress, however, they only give birth to 1-3 at a time. | ||
