Capybaras eat between 6 and 8 pounds (2.7 to 3.6 kg) of grass per day, which is why many of the parks that capys live in are well-manicured.

In fact, here’s one of Sao Paulo’s gentle grazers enjoying a post-swim snack!

Some Other Four-Legged Lawnmowers

Did you know that many airports use sheep and goats as an eco-friendly alternative to lawnmowers and landscaping equipment?

Here are a few examples:

  • Brussels Airport uses a flock of 200 sheep to graze noise barriers.

  • O'Hare Airport uses goats, sheep, and llamas to clear overgrowth.

  • Appleton Airport uses a combination of sheep and goats control invasive plant species.

Thank you for reading and have a great day!
