The World is full of Hatred, so is Human's believe. But it has been scientifically proven with several research works that there is an animal who possess extreme natural friendliness traits even in the wild more than any other organisms in existence at the moment.
CAPYBARAS
World's largest Rodent is a celebrity among animals in the Animal Kingdom. The gentle furry Giant is the unlikely subject to fill the space of the Most Friendly Animal.
Chigüire as they are also called are social animals, adults could weigh as much as 35 Kg to 66 Kg and they are herbivores who lives in groups of approximately 6-20 social groups or more. The reddish brown furry and extremely friendly mammal is a close relative to Guinea Pigs but a 100 times bigger, an excellent swimmer because of it's slightly webbed feet and vestigial tails; that is why they inhabit areas close to body if water- Rivers, Swamps, Ponds, Marshes, lakes etc.
This Semi-aquatic animals are natives of South America, surprisingly researchers declared them missing in Chile. Their major meals are aquatic plants and grasses.
WHY SO FRIENDLY?
This animals exhibits a typical example of Commensalism!
In biology, a relationship between individuals of two species in which one species obtains food or other benefits from the other without either harming or benefiting the latter-Encyclopædia Britannica
Their peaceful, kind, calm and elegance is unimaginable, some predators find this animals too friendly to kill- see evidence below:
There means of defense is evading blood thirsty predators by submerging in water, they can stay up to 5 minutes under water. They exclusively mate under water and sleeps in water with their nose floating on the surface to avoid drowning. Mud playing, swimming, running as fast as Horses in the face of dangers when they are not close to water shows their agility and strengths.
LIFE SPAN
As friendly as this animals are, the average lifespan in the wild is 4 years while many in captivity i.e Zoos and Reserves could live up to 8-10 years.
THREATS TO THEIR LIVES
Domesticated Capybaras have less enemies except for disease and some stray dogs. But in the wild, Anaconda seems to like them as it's favorite meals, same thing with Caiman Eagles, Pumas and Jaguars. Besides that, they are good meat source for Humans and it's fatty skins makes it a source of Fats extracts for Pharmaceutical companies.
MORAL!
If all humans, living organisms could be as peaceful as the Capybara, there would be less injustice in the World!
