Biome : Forests
How did Capybara's adapt into this biome?
Capybara's can stay underwater and hold their breath underwater for 5 minutes to hide from their predators.
Their reddish to dark brown fur is long and brittle, which is perfect for drying out quickly on land.
Capybara's have webbed their feet to help them swim faster to escape their predators.
Capybara's do not eat any other living animals, their main food source is fresh leaves that they find in the rainforest biome near the river.

Temperature & Humidity
Tropical Rainforest
Tropical rainforests are lush and warm all year long! Temperatures don't even change much between night and day. The average temperature in tropical rainforests ranges from 70 to 85°F (21 to 30°C). The environment is pretty wet in tropical rainforests, maintaining a high humidity of 77% to 88% year-round.
Temperate Rainforest
In temperate rainforests, two types of precipitation can occur: rain and snow. Temperatures range from 32°F to 68°F, which is much colder than tropical areas. Some of the states in the U.S. with temperate rainforests include California, North Carolina, and Alaska.
