As a non-native species, they can&#8217;t be released in Costa Rica so they will be taken to a refuge for environmental and conservation education programs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the first recorded case of illegal capybara trafficking in Costa Rica, marking a milestone in the fight against the illegal wildlife trade,&#8221; the Public Security Ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldwildlife.org\/stories\/are-capybaras-rodents-and-5-other-capybara-facts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">According to WWF<\/a>, the average size of capybaras is about 108 pounds, or roughly the size of an adult wolf. Capybaras have webbed feet and nostrils on top of their head, which helps them to swim fast and stay mostly submerged for long periods of time.<\/p>\n<p>The unusual drug bust in Costa Rica comes just
