The Capybara Rebel -1

Taking a deep dive into the rabbit hole of capybara content can be just as intense as any other, so let me share some of my current top picks. These selections come from across the globe and span various time periods. Your experience might be different.

To begin, let’s talk about the musical aspect:

Moving on, there’s the Capy B Cafe located in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Hearing about this place for several months, I was ready when a friend shared this promotional video. I have another friend who’s visited a capybara cafe in Japan and thought, why not a bit closer to home? A small group of us planned a trip there for its June opening.

It turns out the publish date was April 1, 2023—April Fool’s Day. I’d like to seize this opportunity to inform any local billionaires (Seattle has many of you) that this is a golden business prospect. Reach out to me—I’d love to talk!

Moving past that letdown, I decided not to feature videos of anacondas and jaguars here. They’re available, but I’d rather not watch. Your Portuguese may not be sufficient for understanding scientific papers, so I upload the English ones to the ROUS Foundation website when I come across a good batch. The fun stuff makes its way here.

June 26, 2023, marked the release date for Chef Capybara, just two days ago. It seems like an enjoyable video game, probably worth the $0.99 cost. I’m curious, let me know what you think.

Promised you a bit of Brazil, but this next part takes us to Peru. The source of the Amazon River is in the eastern Andes mountains. Sean Crane was recently there, and his wildlife photography is breathtaking. Here’s a capybara, possibly a nursing female. Notice the nipples? Take a look at his website—he seems to find animals wherever he goes.

This next photo hails from Brazil. I believe the subject was featured on TikTok. Albino capybaras are quite uncommon. What I really long to see are capybaras with zebra stripes, polka dots, or the ever-popular but rarely seen giraffe pattern. The usual brown is so overrated.

The following footage comes from Brazil. The narrative is something like “We have lots of capybaras all over this park, but beware—they can get aggressive and attack dogs.” Most of the captivating capybara moments are at the beginning. Feel free to stop once the policeman starts rambling.

Here’s another precautionary note: “Cute but dangerous: learn about the risks of interacting with capybaras. Despite their cute and seemingly friendly appearance, capybaras can pose serious dangers, such as disease transmission.” No video this time, but you can find some great photos of capybaras at the provided link.

The next photo doesn’t come with much of a backstory since the capybaras weren’t interviewed. Were they searching for a specific car model? Did they make a purchase? Are they even old enough to drive?

Maybe they simply like cars. Here they are, roaming through a grocery store parking lot.

Have youEver considered getting inked with a capybara design? You’re certainly not alone! Take a look at these intriguing tattoos. And seriously, can someone explain the pole-dancing capybara to me? Maybe there’s something I’m not seeing, but it completely eludes me.

Thoughts? Suggestions? I’d love to hear them! I’m dubbing this collection of capybara insights as the Capybara Contrarian. Remember this unique format for future reference. It’s a mixed bag of sorts. This might be the inaugural or the final edition, but only time will tell.
