Capybara sound effects from the world's biggest rodent, a surprisingly quiet and chatty animal for its size. Soft clicks, purrs and little whistles, with the odd gruff bark when it's spooked. Here it sits alongside other rodents and rare animals, recorded on location. The calls are small and gentle. They're calm most of the time, which is very much the capybara way.
What sound does a capybara make? Mostly clicks, purrs and whistles that keep a group in touch, plus a sharp alarm bark that sends everyone into the water. Like Lemur, it's the sort of animal that rarely gets recorded, so these sit in libraries of rare species from the wider Animal world. Capybaras live in groups by rivers and wetlands in South America, and a few of those calls over a riverside ambience go a long way. Documentaries and cosy animal games use them.
