The giant anteater has a long, tubular snout that widens to a small face with small ears and eyes. With its massive front legs and smaller rear legs, the giant anteater walks with an ambling gait, protecting its large front claws by walking on its knuckles. It is threatened by hunting and habitat destruction.

South American swamps are home to a rodent the size of a pig. The capybara, which means “master of grasses” in the local language, is a social animal that lives in herds. On land it runs like a horse, and in water it swims like a beaver. When grazing, the capybara uses its front incisor teeth to crop grass.

I will look around for the key words ‘master of grasses’. I will need to check both texts to see if the statement applies to both animals. I can find and take the answer. This statement is true for the capybara, not the giant anteater.
