Twice the size of a beaver, capybaras are the largest rodents on Earth, but despite their size, they tend to get along with literally everyone. From chilling with llamas and monkeys to cuddling with humans, capybaras have nothing but love to offer.

Bright Side has picked 15 photos that reveal the sweet side of these giant rodents.

1. “I got to snuggle with a capybara.”

3. Such a gentle creature!

8. Those kids seem as curious as the capybara.

10. “Met this guy named Hector at a rescue zoo, he was a big fan of the lettuce. He was pretty cool — it was an awesome time.”

We’d like to add that although friendly and peaceful most of the time, capybaras are still wild animals and may attack, be dangerous, and pass on zoonosis, so everyone must remain very cautious around them.
