Would you like to have a pet Capybara?

Cute. I've heard they are very playful.

Do they bite?

And yet I get disparaged the world over... AND I CARRIED A FUCKING PIZZA UP THE GODDAMN SUBWAY STAIRS, MUTHAFUCKAS.

This one looks pretty docile, R1. But I was wondering the same thing.

I have a feeling that they have really big teeth that could do some damage.

Lol R2.

Capybaras are NOT rats!

They can do some real damage if they want to.

Go to bed, you’re DRUNK.

[Quote]They are superb swimmers and can hold their breath underwater for up to five minutes

What fascinating creatures. I want one, too and I don't feel guilty about it as they typically live far longer as pets than they do in the wild.

It’s wrong. They are born free.

At 1:27, she shares a piece of food (carrot?) with one of those creatures.

Shaddup

.....

They are a wild animal....not domesticated! Potential disease carriers, unpredictable behavior, wild instinct reactions...all reasons to NOT have one.

Are they in pet shops ?

They are very friendly with other animals, and yes, they are rodents.

R12. Yes, they are domesticated

I always wanted one. I just adore cute things.

Shit everywhere.

I just ate too much Berry Cheerios and I feel worse than hungover and now I read this shit.

I think I might throw up.

They should roam freely in the wild. Why do you have to enslave and subjugate everything and everyone, OP?

I love capybaras, they are essentially giant guinea pigs and I would love one as a pet but they are wild animals.

I've seen an agouti in the wild and they are more like big rats.

I also really like wombats.

Humpback whales are so beautiful and graceful and playful. I want one as a pet.

I sneezed really hard about eight times, the final sneeze ending in a big surprise burp. Then I vomited Berry Cheerios and club soda but not before made it to a relatively decent receptacle. Felt like Linda Blair for those three minutes, but doing much better now. Strangely, while not a fan at first, I feel I owe a debt of gratitude to that chupacabra in OP. It was like a talisman.

How much?

Does it come with recipes?

R21 You could have me as a pet, UKGuy!

The Japanese keep them in zoos, and let them soak in hot springs... lol.

It's quite cute.

They're from tropical climates, so they must love huddling together in the warm bath.

They look like land walruses.

And yeah, it seems that they get along with many other animals.

Here's a cute wombat and his kangaroo best friend, R21.

It looks like a giant guinea pig, just get one of those instead.

No, they are animals not the pets. Don't have erotic animals as pets, use the dog, cat or the bunny.

Do they stink? Like dogs?

They look like they smell, R31.

Capys also swim in such filthy water! Yuck.

The hot springs bath looks perfect for them. It's clean, warm water.

There is a woman who breeds them for pets in Arkansas (i know it sounds illegal)

I really want a pet warthog. Trying to buy one

R30, no don’t have erotic animals, or exotic ones either.

R25 can you do any tricks?

I bet they just shit wherever they damn please.

Just like the President!

Capybara = Rafael Nadal:

This one is cute (as are the dogs), but it's sort of odd to me that they have such large bodies, but such small, narrow feet. It almost seems to be a detriment.

if you want one as a pet come to NYC. There are rats this big everywhere here.

This is one animal I don’t even understand. It looks like an ugly rat on steroids with deformed legs and no tail.

They look like Edward Gorey creations.

They don't act like rats.

They're very lazy and slow. They act more like sloths, in that respect.

It's so cute when they get excited. They start jumping around like fools!

They're adorable when they're little babies. The one in the OP video walks like its hips are very arthritic.

IMO they just get too big to keep as a house pet. I'd rather have a prairie dog. Now that's a rodent that just gets cuter the older they get.

Capybara and kittens.

So cute!

The capybara appears to be a millennial.

Preach! I had an ex just like this! Never again!

Capybara sits in the old gum tree, Merry merry king of the bush is he. Laugh, Capybara, laugh, Capybara, Gay your life must be!

Reticulated Python sits in the old gum tree, Merry merry king of the bush is he. Laugh, Reticulated Python, laugh, Reticulated Python, Gay your life must be!

Big feijoada eaters, major Bolsonaro supporters

I WANT MANY CUTE CAPYBARAS IN MY HOME! OR AT LEAST TWO! MY CAT NEEDS TO BE PUT IN HIS GODDAMN PLACE AND REMINDED THAT HE IS NOT, IN FACT, GOD.

Ever since I've seen the Bob's Burgers episode where they're taken hostage on a boat whose captain has a pet capybara...no.

But it's a great episode.

Seriously, R53?

Or are you being sarcastic?

If you're being serious, just look at how nicely they play together at R47.

I'm quite serious, R55. My cat's head is bigger than Jupiter. He's not your regular nice cat at R47.

Do people who fist and have these as pets shove them up their hole?

R57, well Aaron Schock is working his way down to Brazil. Perhaps you can ask him?

Wombats are cute, too.

r57=Richard Gere

Look at how adorable and docile these babies are.

So cute!

Vile creatures.

I thought they were a myth.

They mark everything with their feces and urine; like rabbits and guinea pigs, they practice 𝑐𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑦 (they eat pellets of their own shit in order to reclaim nutrients). They bite. Males are frequently aggressive.

They're like sugar gliders in the sense that they cannot be separated from their primary caretakers; separation, even for a short period of time, causes them great anxiety. They will express their displeasure by shitting all over everything, and by biting. They are very, 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 needy. Do not get a capybara unless you plan to give your entire life over to them, as have many owners. One capybara-owning couple, their carpeted home destroyed, ripped out all their carpeting and strewed the floor with hay, since this was the kind of environment the capybaras liked best.

Wanna live in a feces-strewn, smelly sty? Own a capybara.

Don't, people. Just 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡.

[quote]They mark everything with their feces and urine; like rabbits and guinea pigs, they practice 𝑐𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑦 (they eat pellets of their own shit in order to reclaim nutrients).

Water turtles do that too, red eared sliders always eat their own poop. And NEVER ever add a very small baby turtle to a grown slider tank, especially a slider who grew up alone, they will eat that baby turtle.

R64 = Debbie Downer!

They brought them into Louisiana in the Depression for food and not only wouldn't the starving people eat them, even the alligators won't eat them.

Japanese seem to have domesticated them.

This one here is adorable!!

Cute, but the adult capybaras must stink to high heaven.

They're so cute and funny!
