They're large, fatty mammals (35-65kg) who offer pretty much no resistance to being hunted.
I've never eaten them, but I don't judge people who do, as much as I love capybaras and think of them as the chillest animal of all.

Eating horses is considered normal throughout most of the Old World. It's Anglos and, apparently, some Latin Americans that have some weird taboo on it.

If they go more than a few hours without getting submerged into water their skin starts to "dry up" which can lead to infections and other skins diseases.

Not at all, you may see them near roads with very low traffic but they run away from cars. They don't go anywhere near a city.

I'm not sure if they're common in other cities, Brazil is a huge country, but yeah, they're filled with parasites and the general recommendation is to not touch them or the places they go to.

That is good. Even if they don't have parasites, it is better to leave then alone.

I mean it wont matter much if they manage to do it if people/companies still dump their shit with zero fucks. Of course the city is also to blame, I think for the most part, because im guessing there is little infrastructure when it comes to controlling waste.

There is infrastructure, but it's not enough, the city grows faster than they can build stuff. Also the local administration has more immediate problems to care about such as expanding the metro and monorail lines, maintaining the hospistals etc. Maybe in the future the rivers that go through the city there could be turned into waterways for transport and tourism purposes, like some cities in Europe.

lmao.
Curitiba is the biggest city in the south and there's tons of capybaras here, especially in the Barigui park, the busiest park in the city.
Capybaras have been sighted in multiple places, usually those with large bodies of water nearby such as the city's bus terminal.

The caatinga, that covers most of the brazilian northeast, is the only Brazilian biome where capybaras are not found. Howhever, unlike many people think, they can be found living in the eastern part of the region and also close to large rivers like the São Francisco.
