The biggest (and cutest!) **rodent** of the planet is in **Promenade**.

This rather smelly animal will spawn in **swamps** and **rivers**. You may also encounter babies, which have their own set of cute sounds. They currently eat **carrots** and **melon slices**.

Talking of sounds, capybaras will be the very first mob of the game (and the mob) to be able to... **fart**... You've read that right...

Occasionally, they will let their fat body fall on the side and start **sleeping**. If they fall asleep during night, they will only wake up at **dawn**.

#### Details

There are 2 variants of the capybara:

* **Brown** (`promenade:brown`)
* **Albino** (`promenade:albino`)

These variants are stored in the capybara's NBT tag (for example: `{Variant: "promenade:brown"}`)
