Meet the world's most relaxed animal

Capybaras are the largest rodents in the world and live near rivers and lakes in South America. They love water and spend a lot of time soaking, which is why the pictures show one in a warm spring with an orange on its head.

The drawings keep the shapes round and simple, with clean outlines and big areas to fill. Brown and orange crayons do most of the work, but a purple capybara is just as welcome.

How to print them at home

Open the PDF and choose your normal printer. Pick US Letter paper and "fit to page" if your printer asks, so nothing gets cut off at the edges.

Plain copy paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils. If you like markers, heavier paper or light card stock stops the ink from bleeding through. Print one side only, so each picture has a clean back.

You can print the same page again as often as you like for your own home.
Printing in black and white is all you need. The pages are line art.
On a phone, save the PDF first, then print it from your files app.

Make it a capybara day

Kids who like capybaras often want to know more about them. Pair the coloring with a few easy activities.

Find South America on a map and color the area where capybaras live.
Draw a friend for the capybara in the empty space: a duck, a bird or a turtle.
Color the water in several shades of blue to make it look deep and cool.
