“…Average juvenile male body mass was 23.0 ± 8.28 kg (15.0-37.0) and average juvenile female body mass was 26.7 ± 5.86 kg (15.0-34.0) ( Table 1). The average body mass of adults and juveniles males and females from the present study was bigger than those from other studies (Ojasti 1973, Cordero & Ojasti 1981, Schaller 1983, Herrera 1986, Mones & Ojasti 1986, Herrera 1992, except from Alho et al (1989) (Table 2). The present results suggest that in agroecosystems capybaras can reach bigger body mass than in natural habitats possibly because of food availability (Ferraz et al 2003).…”

“…According to Moreira et al (1997), body mass was significantly correlated to the volume of the snout and anal gland, presence to the coated hairs in the anal glands and testes mass, suggesting that dominance in capybaras is more associated with androgen-dependent scent glands than with sperm production. Mones & Ojasti (1986) suggest that capybaras evince a latitudinal cline with body size and mass increasing as latitude increases.…”

“…Capybaras, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, are 50 kg caviomorph rodents that are widely distributed in South America (Mones & Ojasti 1986). These rodents are abundant on cattle ranches in the Venezuelan seasonally flooded savannas or Llanos, where they are commercially exploited under a program regulated by the Ministry of the Environment (Ojasti 1991).…”
