You’ll also discover what it takes to become a capybara zoologist. Filled with simple science and plenty of animal facts, it’s a must for all capybara fans!

About the Authors

Neon Squid creates beautiful nonfiction books for inquisitive kids (and kids at heart). We believe the most amazing stories are real ones, so our books are for children who want to decipher ancient scrolls, orbit distant stars, and dive into the deepest oceans. Our books are a labor of love―written by experts, illustrated by the best artists around, and produced using the finest materials, including sustainably sourced paper. We hope that by reading them kids are encouraged to further explore the world around them.

Dr. Julia Mata is an Argentine ecologist with a background in conservation and rewilding. Julia started working with capybaras in 2017 during her PhD and has loved them ever since! She spent countless hours with capybaras in the Iber� wetlands in Argentina while collecting data on their impact on the ecosystem. She currently works for Rewilding Europe and previously worked on Neon Squid’s book Rewilding.

Greco Westermann is an illustrator based in Valencia, Spain. He has always been fascinated by creatures, both real and imaginary, cute or creepy. He draws a great amount of inspiration from the natural world and you will often find him drawing animals to highlight their unique shapes, geometry, and patterns.
