Capybaras actually do hang out in the water at least
i mean guinea pigs were originally bred as a replacement food source for ocean voyages as it tasted the same as a pig but was way smaller
thus the name (morski prašiček - sea piglet in slovene)
I thought the name is because they come from overseas?
