I’ve read that capybaras can live up to 12 years in captivity which is double their lifespan in the wild. How is this possible? For most other animals, captivity shortens their lifespan.

Most animals do not have a shorter lifespan in captivity but rather the opposite.
When the animal is cared for, kept safe from predators and given good food and medicine, they live longer than the wild where they do not get that care.
